🦷 **Oral Cancer Screening: What to Expect and Why It Matters**
Your routine dental visit is about more than checking for cavities! An oral cancer screening helps your dentist examine the tissues of your mouth and identify unusual changes that may need further assessment.
🔎 **Know what to look for:**
✔️ Sores that don't heal
✔️ Red or white patches in the mouth
✔️ Unusual lumps or swelling
✔️ Persistent pain, numbness, or difficulty swallowing
These symptoms don't always indicate cancer, but persistent changes should never be ignored. Early professional assessment can help determine the appropriate next steps.
