🧐 “Doc, what’s this?”
That’s often how early signs of oral cancer are caught.
We check the cheeks, lips, tongue, and lymph nodes, looking for any unusual bumps, sores, or swelling. Most findings aren’t cancer, but early detection can save lives.

🎥 Watch the video to understand what an oral cancer screening involves and why it matters.

💬 Like, comment, and share with your friends and family. This could help someone catch a problem early.

Still worried about old silver fillings? 😟 You’re not alone.
Many people come to us feeling unsure, anxious, or frustrated with cracked, dark, or painful fillings from the past.

At LUF Dental, we don’t place amalgam.
Instead, we use composite restorations, tooth-colored, flexible, repairable, and designed to protect your natural tooth for the long run.

If you’ve ever questioned what’s in your mouth or what your options are, this video is for you.

🦷 Watch this video to learn why composite fillings are safer, smarter, and better for your smile.
