Oral cancer screening is a quick, painless part of a routine dental check-up. Your dentist looks for warning signs such as mouth ulcers that haven't healed within a few weeks, red or white patches, unexplained lumps, or ongoing soreness in the mouth or throat.
Factors like smoking, regular alcohol use, HPV and prolonged sun exposure to the lips can increase risk. Because early changes often cause no pain, regular check-ups with a local Melbourne dentist are one of the simplest ways to have them looked at sooner.
Your dentist will check the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks and throat for unusual changes, often before any symptoms appear.
