Regular oral cancer screenings are an important part of preventive dental care. At Dental Art Clinic in Mount Prospect, IL, we examine the mouth, gums, tongue, lips, throat, and surrounding tissues for changes that may need further evaluation.
Oral cancer can affect people with different risk profiles, which is why routine dental examinations are important even when you are not experiencing symptoms. If we notice an unusual sore, lump, discoloration, tissue change, or another area of concern, we can discuss appropriate next steps and whether additional evaluation is recommended.
Dental Art Clinic provides oral cancer screenings for patients from Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Prospect Heights, Wheeling, and surrounding communities.
Some changes in the mouth can have many causes and do not necessarily mean cancer. However, persistent or unexplained changes should be evaluated by a dental or medical professional.
Possible warning signs can include:
If you notice a persistent or unusual change in your mouth, contact your dentist for an evaluation.
During a dental examination, Dr. Joanna Tylman can examine your oral tissues for abnormalities and discuss any findings with you. Screening is intended to identify areas that may require closer evaluation; it does not by itself diagnose oral cancer.
Regular dental visits also give us an opportunity to monitor changes in your oral health over time and address concerns as early as possible.
