Understanding Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are quick and non-invasive procedures performed to detect early signs of cancerous or precancerous conditions in the mouth. During a screening, the dentist examines your mouth for abnormalities, such as red or white patches, lumps, or sores that haven’t healed. Our dentists in Carlsbad, CA, utilize advanced tools to ensure a comprehensive evaluation to catch any potential issues early.
