At The Oyster Bay Family Dentists, we offer oral cancer screenings to our patients to look for signs of oral cancer.
During the exam our doctors will look for any lumps and spots in different areas in your mouth. Besides looking for lumps and abnormalities, our doctors might use their finger to feel the skin and tissue underneath your jaw for possible signs of cancer.
When possible, we advise our patients to avoid using tobacco as it increases your chance of developing oral cancer. If you consume alcohol regularly you have a higher chance of developing it. Our patients that have a family history of oral cancer or have previously been diagnosed with oral cancer are encouraged to have an exam at least once a year.
Don’t forget to ask for an oral cancer screening the next time you see us or if you notice any abnormalities in your mouth.
