Early Detection Can Save Lives
At our Warren, MI dental office, we use OralID® fluorescence technology to help identify abnormal tissue that may not be visible during a traditional oral exam. This quick, painless screening can aid in the early detection of oral cancer and other potentially harmful conditions.
While anyone can develop oral cancer, certain factors may increase your risk, including tobacco use (smoking or smokeless tobacco), human papillomavirus (HPV), previous history of oral cancer, and being age 40 and older.
An oral cancer screening is fast, comfortable, and non-invasive. During your examination, we’ll evaluate your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, throat, and other oral tissues for any unusual lesions, discoloration, or abnormalities. When appropriate, we’ll also use OralID® to enhance the screening process by highlighting tissue changes that may require further evaluation.
Including an oral cancer screening as part of your regular dental exams is one of the simplest ways to protect your long-term health and gain peace of mind.
Routine oral cancer screenings are an important part of preventive dental care. Schedule a quick, non-invasive oral cancer screening today.
