Mouth cancer screening is a quick, painless check that can help detect early signs of oral cancer, often before symptoms appear.
Early detection saves lives. At Toome Dental, we include a mouth cancer screening as part of your routine dental examination to look for any unusual changes in your mouth, tongue, lips, or throat.
The screening takes just a few minutes and involves a thorough visual and physical examination of your soft tissues. We’re looking for anything out of the ordinary—such as sores, lumps, or discolouration—that could require further investigation.
Mouth cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age or lifestyle. Factors such as smoking, alcohol use, HPV infection, or even sun exposure can increase your risk. That’s why regular screenings are so important, even if you have no symptoms.
If we spot anything unusual, we’ll discuss it with you immediately and refer you for further checks if needed. Our goal is to provide reassurance, awareness, and swift action when necessary.
