Early Detection Can Save Lives
Oral cancer represents a relatively minor incidence of all cancers in the United States. Nevertheless, thousands of individuals are diagnosed with oral cancers annually, and early diagnosis can greatly improve the prognosis for these individuals.
At Stamford Dental Studio, we include an oral cancer screening as part of every comprehensive dental examination. This ensures we identify potential issues associated with oral cancers before treatment is provided.
Oral cancer can occur in any part of the mouth or in the surrounding regions of the head and neck. It most often occurs in the following areas:
Men are more likely than women to develop oral cancer, particularly men over the age of 50. Other risk factors include:
While survival rates have improved due to early detection and advances in treatment, there has been an increase in the incidence of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer in recent years.
A professional assessment is vital since a lot of indicators of oral cancer at an early stage are asymptomatic and may not be detected unless examined early on. Increased treatment success rates and reduced risk of complications can be achieved by detecting changes earlier.
Routine screenings are quick, non-invasive, and can be life-saving.
At Stamford Dental Studio, we do an extensive screening for oral cancer as a part of your regular dental appointment during your comprehensive exam.
The process includes:
We ask you about your previous medical and dental histories and inquire about any recent changes to your health or any signs or symptoms you have noticed since your last visit.
We carefully examine the mouth, tongue, gums, cheeks, palate, and throat. We also check the head and neck area for lumps, swelling, discoloration, sores, or other abnormalities.
If anything is found to be abnormal, we will provide you with further evaluation methods that we recommend.
