Safeguarding Smiles With Oral Cancer Screening
What Is An Oral Cancer Screening?
During the screening, Dr. Mirani carefully examines the mouth, lips, tongue, gums, and other oral tissues to identify any abnormalities, lesions, or suspicious areas that may require further evaluation or testing. This proactive screening is crucial for early detection and can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment and recovery if any potential oral cancer is found.
How Does Oral Cancer Screening Work?
During an oral cancer screening, Dr. Mirani will carefully examine your mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and throat. She will look for any abnormalities such as sores, lumps, white or red patches, or other suspicious changes in the tissues. In some cases, additional diagnostic tests such as a biopsy or imaging may be recommended.
The screening process is usually quick, painless, and non-invasive. It is typically performed during your routine dental check-up. Dr. Mirani will discuss any findings with you and may recommend further evaluation or referral to a specialist if necessary.
Regular oral cancer screenings are important, especially if you have risk factors such as tobacco or alcohol use, a history of oral cancer, or a family history of the disease. It is an integral part of maintaining your oral health and overall well-being. If you have any concerns or notice any changes in your oral tissues, it is important to contact your Dr. Mirani promptly for an evaluation.

The frequency of oral cancer screenings may vary depending on your individual risk factors and oral health status. In general, it is recommended to have an oral cancer screening at least once a year during your routine dental check-up. However, if you have a higher risk of oral cancer due to factors such as tobacco or alcohol use, a history of oral cancer, or a family history of the disease, Dr. Mirani may recommend more frequent screenings.
No, an oral cancer screening is typically painless and non-invasive. It involves a visual examination of the oral tissues and may include palpation to check for any abnormal lumps or bumps.
