What to Expect During Your Screening

Your oral cancer screening will consist of a physical and visual examination. During the physical exam, your dentist will feel your face and neck structures with consent. The dentist will then visually inspect your mouth and throat tissues to look for any abnormalities.

The entire process should take as little as two minutes.

Protecting Yourself From Oral Cancer
