Oral Cancer Screening FAQs

If you have any questions about oral cancer screening, we’ve got answers.

An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless examination performed by Dr. Ramy to detect early signs of oral cancer and pre-cancerous conditions. Early detection through regular screenings significantly increases the chances of successful treatment, which is why we include this vital check in every comprehensive exam.

At Exceptional Dentistry, we use the advanced VELscope technology that helps detect abnormal tissues that might not be visible to the naked eye. This specialized fluorescent light technology, combined with Dr. Ramy’s expert visual and physical examination, provides a thorough assessment of your oral health.

We recommend oral cancer screenings at least once a year during your routine dental check-up, though our expert dentist in Palmdale, CA, may suggest more frequent screenings based on risk factors. These risk factors include tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, previous cancer history, or significant sun exposure.

Any persistent changes in your mouth, such as white or red patches, sores that don’t heal within two weeks, lumps, or difficulty swallowing, should be evaluated promptly. We encourage our patients to perform monthly self-checks and contact us immediately if they notice any unusual changes.

While some risk factors can’t be controlled, you can reduce your risk by avoiding tobacco products, limiting alcohol consumption, using UV protection on your lips, and maintaining good oral hygiene. Regular screenings with Dr. Ramy ensure any concerning changes are caught and addressed early.
