Oral Cancer Screening in Pleasant Grove, UT
A quick, painless check that's part of every exam, because catching oral cancer early makes all the difference.
Why oral cancer screening matters
Oral cancer is highly treatable when it's caught early, and that's exactly what an oral cancer screening is for. We include a screening as part of your regular exams, looking and feeling for any unusual changes in your mouth, lips, tongue, and throat.
It takes just a couple of minutes and could make an enormous difference.
What the screening involves
We visually examine the soft tissues of your mouth, lips, cheeks, tongue, and throat, and gently feel for any lumps or irregular areas. We also ask about symptoms like persistent sores, patches, or hoarseness.
If we notice anything that warrants a closer look, we'll discuss the next steps with you right away.
Who should be screened
Everyone benefits from regular screening, but it's especially important for those who use tobacco or alcohol, have had a lot of sun exposure to the lips, or have a history of HPV. Risk rises with age, too.
Because we screen at routine visits, you're covered simply by keeping up with your checkups.
