At Perfect Smile Implant and Orthodontic Clinic, we prioritize not only your smile but your overall health. Oral cancer screening is a vital preventive measure to detect early signs of oral cancer and ensure timely intervention.
Oral cancer screening is a quick, non-invasive procedure where a dentist examines your mouth for signs of precancerous or cancerous conditions. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
Early Detection Saves Lives: Spotting oral cancer in its initial stages can lead to better treatment outcomes.
Increases Awareness: Screening helps identify risk factors like tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or HPV infection.
Protects Overall Health: Oral cancer can spread to other parts of the body if not detected early.
Individuals aged 40 and above.
Tobacco and alcohol users.
Those with a family history of cancer.
Individuals with HPV or prolonged sun exposure (lip cancer risk).
1. Visual Examination:
We inspect your lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, and throat for unusual spots, lumps, or discolorations.

In some cases, advanced tools like fluorescence lights may be used to detect abnormalities.
