What to expect during an oral cancer screening

Our promise to you: time and attention to detail

Oral cancers are scary, but when caught early, are much easier to treat. Our doctors are passionate about protecting your long-term health and keeping your smile strong and healthy for years to come. By performing thorough oral cancer screenings in Bonita Springs and Estero, we give our patients a fighting chance against oral disease.

During your exam, you’ll remove any oral appliances you’re wearing, and our doctors will use several tools, including a light, mirror, and tongue depressor, to get a good look at your oral structures. They will also feel around your head, cheeks, jaw, and chin for any unusual masses. If this causes discomfort or shows signs of a problem with tissue mobility, you may also be asked to swallow.

Our doctors prioritize honest and transparent conversations about your oral health and will take the time to discuss all your options and make sure you’re both on the same page. We promise time and attention to detail to set your smile up for a successful and healthy future.
