An oral cancer screening is a quick and painless exam. Your dentist will review pertinent health history information, medications and checks your mouth, throat, and neck for any unusual spots, sores, or lumps using therapeutic palpation. Special lights or tools may be used to see areas more clearly. The function of your cranial nerves will also be tested. This exam helps to detect problems early, when treatment is most effective.
