Early detection plays an important role in protecting your oral health. Oral cancer screening helps identify unusual changes in the mouth that may need further examination.
At Care 32 Diamonds Dental Clinic, we provide oral examinations to check for suspicious lesions, persistent sores, unusual patches, and other changes in the mouth.
What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening is a careful examination of the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, roof and floor of the mouth, and other oral tissues. The dentist looks for abnormalities that may require further investigation.
What Is an Oral Biopsy?
An oral biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of tissue is collected from an unusual area in the mouth and sent to a laboratory for examination. It helps determine the nature of the tissue change and whether further treatment is needed.
