Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is easier to treat when found early. Your dentist and hygienist perform a quick, non-invasive screening that includes a visual check of the lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, and throat, plus gentle palpation of the jawline and neck. We document any sores, color changes, or areas that don’t heal and, if needed, recommend photos, a short-term review visit, or referral for a biopsy. Risk factors include tobacco, alcohol, HPV, frequent sun exposure to the lips, and a history of irregular lesions.
That sharp “zing” with cold, sweet, or touch often means exposed dentin, enamel wear, gum recession, micro-cracks, or clenching. We start by finding the cause, then tailor treatment, which may include:
Fluoride varnish or in-office desensitizers to seal open tubules
Prescription-strength sensitive toothpaste for daily home use
Bonding to cover exposed root surfaces or worn enamel
Bite adjustments for high spots or heavy contacts
Repairing decay or replacing leaking fillings where needed
Periodontal care or specialist referral if recession is advanced
Many patients notice improvement within days to weeks once the cause is addressed and home care is consistent.
We screen at every comprehensive and recall exam. Higher-risk patients may benefit from more frequent checks.
Sometimes, but recurring sensitivity usually has an underlying cause. Treating the root issue leads to longer-lasting relief.
Yes—used daily, many patients notice improvement within 2–4 weeks.
No. We take them based on your individual risk, symptoms, and history.
