Oral Cancer Screenings FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions Oral Cancer Screenings
Q: What is oral cancer screening?
Oral cancer screening is a procedure performed by a dental professional to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. The goal is to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater chance for a cure.
Q: Who should get screened for oral cancer?
Adults, especially those who use tobacco in any form, consume alcohol heavily, have a history of significant sun exposure (which can predispose to lip cancer), or have a history of oral human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, should consider regular screenings. However, people without these risk factors should also discuss their screening needs with their dental professional.
Q: How often should I get screened for oral cancer?
It's generally recommended to have an oral cancer screening during your regular dental visit, which for many individuals is every 6 to 12 months. Those at higher risk may need more frequent screenings, as advised by their healthcare provider.
Q: What happens during an oral cancer screening?
During the screening, your dentist will look over the inside of your mouth to check for red or white patches or mouth sores. Using gloves, they will also feel the tissues in your mouth to check for lumps or other abnormalities. Some dentists may use additional tests to aid in identifying areas of abnormal cells in your mouth.
Q: Is oral cancer screening painful?
No, oral cancer screening is a painless process. It involves a visual examination and physical palpation of the oral cavity and connected tissues. If any advanced diagnostic tests are used, they are generally non-invasive and painless.
