The Oral Cancer Foundation estimates that 43,000 people or more will be diagnosed with oral cancer each year. Here at Pasha Dental Group, we offer oral cancer screenings in Mar Vista to detect signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions inside a patient’s mouth.
What to Expect From An Oral Cancer Screening
For patients who present a high risk for oral cancer, the dentist will recommend an oral cancer screening during a routine exam to determine if any cancer or precancerous lesions are present. We understand the anxiety and uncertainty patients may experience before or during an oral cancer screening. Our dentist takes great care in explaining the process and what a patient can expect during the exam.
In general, our dentist will examine a patient’s mouth for white or red patches or mouth sores. He will also feel the tissue in a patient’s mouth for lumps or abnormalities. If a patient wears dentures, they will need to be removed to examine the mouth properly.
