During a routine dental visit, it’s natural to focus only on your teeth and gums. But your dentist is also looking for signs of something far more serious — oral cancer. With a quick screening, potential issues can be identified early, giving you the best chance at effective treatment. It’s a simple but critical step in protecting your health.
At Enso Dental Arts, we go beyond caring for your smile. Dr. Hiruma and her team make oral cancer screenings a priority, offering a proactive approach to your overall well-being. Using the latest tools and techniques, we ensure every visit leaves you feeling reassured and informed about your health.
Dr. Hiruma and her team use a combination of advanced technology and detailed examinations to ensure the process is thorough and effective. The screening is quick, painless, and focused on early detection to give you the best chance at addressing potential issues.
The screening begins with a visual examination of your mouth, lips, tongue, and throat, looking for abnormalities like discoloration, sores, or lumps. Gentle palpation of the neck and jaw follows to check for unusual textures or swelling.
If any concerns arise, we’ll explain the findings clearly and guide you on the next steps, which could include further testing or a specialist consultation. Dr. Hiruma and her team are dedicated to catching problems early and providing you with personalized care for your peace of mind. At Enso Dental Arts, your health is always our priority.
Detecting oral cancer early can significantly improve treatment outcomes, as early-stage cancers are often easier to treat and have a higher survival rate. Unfortunately, oral cancer often develops silently, showing few or no symptoms in its initial stages. That’s why regular screenings are essential, even for those who feel healthy or have no noticeable concerns.
Screenings are especially important for individuals with certain risk factors, such as tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, or exposure to HPV. However, oral cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age or lifestyle, making routine checks a vital part of comprehensive dental care. By identifying potential issues early, screenings not only save lives but also help prevent more extensive and invasive treatments down the road.
At Enso Dental Arts, we screen for several types of oral cancer to ensure comprehensive protection for your health. Each type can present differently, and our thorough screening process helps detect potential issues early, even before symptoms become noticeable. Here are the primary types of oral cancers we look for during your visit:
