Oral Cancer Screening in Chester
Routine Oral Cancer Screening as Part of Your Dental Check-Up
At Art of Dental Care Chester, oral cancer screening forms an important part of your routine dental examination and is carried out as part of every check-up.
Oral cancer can affect many areas of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, throat and floor of the mouth. As with many health conditions, the outcome of treatment often depends on how early it is detected.
During your examination, our dentists routinely assess the soft tissues of your mouth to look for any unusual changes. Most abnormalities identified during screening are not cancerous, but it is important that anything unusual is assessed appropriately.
If necessary, we can investigate any lumps or bumps further and, where appropriate, refer you to secondary care for additional assessment.
