At Dedicated Smiles, we prioritize your health and well-being by offering oral cancer screenings as an essential part of your routine dental checkup. These screenings help detect early signs of oral cancer; a condition that can often go unnoticed until it reaches advanced stages. Early detection is key to successful treatment, making this a life-saving service.
Oral cancer affects various parts of the mouth and surrounding structures, including Lips, Tongue, Floor of the mouth, Cheeks, Throat (pharynx), Sinuses, and Hard and soft palate. When detected early, oral cancer can often be successfully treated. Unfortunately, most cases are not identified until the cancer has progressed, which makes early screenings crucial for improving treatment outcomes.
If you’re due for your next oral cancer screening or have concerns about your oral health, don’t wait. To schedule your oral cancer screening with Dr. Abu-Bakr El-Masry and our caring team, call 703-583-7720Â today. Early detection could save your life.
An oral cancer screening is a quick and comfortable process. Dr. El-Masry performs a thorough visual and physical exam of your mouth, tongue, gums, cheeks, lips, and throat. Using a combination of visual inspection and palpation, he checks for unusual lumps, sores, discoloration, or tissue changes that could indicate early signs of cancer. In some cases, advanced light or screening tools may also be used to detect abnormalities not visible to the naked eye.
This exam takes only a few minutes but can provide peace of mind and potentially life-saving information about your oral health.
