During your regular checkup, your dentist will visually and physically examine your mouth, tongue, throat, and neck for anything unusual. This takes only a few minutes and requires no special preparation. If anything of concern is found, your dentist will explain the finding clearly and refer you for further evaluation if needed.

Oral cancer screening is included with every Check-Ups & Cleanings visit, so there is no need to book it separately if you are already due for a routine exam.
