April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s a good reminder that your dental exam includes more than checking teeth. An oral cancer screening is a quick visual and hands-on check of the soft tissues in and around your mouth, including the tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat area.
Most early changes are subtle, and many people would not notice anything on their own. Keeping up with routine visits gives your dentist a consistent baseline, so it’s easier to spot something new and talk through what it means.
If you are due for a checkup, call the office to schedule your next exam and cleaning.
