Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer can develop silently, often without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Regular oral cancer screenings help detect abnormalities early, increasing the chances of successful treatment. At Tanushree Dental Care, Dr. Parth Shah & Dr. Tanvi Shah provide quick, painless, and thorough oral cancer screenings to protect your health.
What is Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening is a preventive examination where a dentist checks for signs of cancerous or precancerous conditions in the mouth. It includes inspecting the lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, throat, and other oral tissues for any unusual changes.

✔ Tobacco or betel nut users (smoking, chewing tobacco, gutkha, etc.)
✔ Frequent alcohol consumers
✔ People with a history of oral HPV infection
✔ Patients with chronic mouth ulcers or red/white patches
✔ Individuals with a family history of oral cancer
Signs & Symptoms to Watch For:
✔ Persistent mouth sores or ulcers
✔ White or red patches on the tongue or gums
✔ Difficulty swallowing or speaking
✔ Unexplained bleeding in the mouth
✔ Lumps, swelling, or thickening of oral tissues
✔ Numbness or pain in the mouth or lips
What to Expect During Your Screening?
- Visual Examination – Checking the mouth, lips, tongue, gums, and throat for abnormalities.
- Physical Examination – Feeling for lumps or irregularities inside the mouth and neck area.
