Get answers to common questions about Oral Cancer Screeening.

An oral cancer screening is a thorough examination performed by a dentist to detect early signs of oral cancer.

It is recommended to get screened at least once a year, or more frequently if you're at higher risk.

Signs may include persistent sores, lumps, or white/red patches in the mouth that don't heal.

The screening is non-invasive and typically painless, involving a visual examination and possible additional tests.

Everyone should consider annual screenings, particularly those with risk factors like tobacco use or family history.
