Oral Cancer Screening
Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection saves lives. That’s why our team is proud to offer comprehensive oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental care. These quick, non-invasive exams are one of the most important preventative tools we provide, helping us identify abnormalities before they become serious.
Why Oral Cancer Screenings Matter
Oral cancer often develops without obvious symptoms in its early stages. By the time noticeable signs appear, the condition can already be advanced. Regular screenings give us a chance to catch any warning signs early—when treatment is most effective.
During your screening, we will:
- Examine your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, throat, and floor of the mouth
- Look for unusual spots, sores, lumps, or thickened areas
- Identify changes in color or texture of oral tissues
- Check for pain, tenderness, or numbness in your mouth or lips
It’s a simple process that takes only a few minutes and is completely painless. We recommend annual screenings for all adults, especially those who use tobacco, consume alcohol regularly, or have a history of oral cancer.
What Is OralID?
At Jupiter Dental Care, we use OralID. This state-of-the-art oral cancer screening device uses fluorescence technology to detect abnormal tissue that may not be visible to the naked eye. Under the OralID’s special light, healthy tissue appears dark, while suspicious areas show up as bright white.
This enhanced visibility allows our team to be even more thorough during your exam. It’s fast, safe, and adds an extra layer of confidence to your routine checkup.
