Why Do Oral Cancer Screenings Matter?

The Oral Cancer Screenings Process

During an oral cancer screening, your dentist will look for any red or white patches in your mouth, as well as any lumps or swellings. He or she will also feel around your neck for any lymph nodes that may be enlarged. If anything suspicious is found, your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon or ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist for further testing. This may include a biopsy, during which a small sample of tissue is removed and sent to a lab for analysis.
