What Is Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral cancer screening is a visual and physical examination of your mouth, throat, lips, and surrounding tissues to detect signs of cancer or precancerous conditions. During the screening, we look for unusual sores, white or red patches, lumps, or other abnormalities that might indicate oral cancer. Advanced screening tools can detect changes invisible to the naked eye, catching potential problems at their earliest stages.

The screening process is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive—typically taking less than five minutes during your regular dental visit. For Summerlin residents, especially those with risk factors like tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, or HPV, regular oral cancer screenings provide crucial peace of mind and potentially life-saving early detection.
