Oral Cancer Screening Exam

During routine dental exams dentists are able to look closely at patients’ mouths to determine the health of their gums and teeth. However, what many people are not aware of is that this is the perfect time an opportunity to have their mouths screened for any signs of oral cancer. With advancements in modern dental technology, dentists are now able to pinpoint the start of a potential problem much earlier in order to offer early intervention and treatment. The ability to treat any sign of oral cancer prior to them becoming a major, irreversible problem is immeasurable. At Family & Cosmetic Dental Care, we offer an expert oral cancer screening exam  as a part of our general dentistry services.

Dr. Mitul Patel leads the practice of Family & Cosmetic Dental Care, is a board certified Doctor of Dental Surgery, and has the extensive experience needed for screening patients’ mouths for signs of oral cancer. He uses the most advanced technologies available to identify all types of oral cancer in their earliest stages in order to treat them aggressively. Oral cancer screening is completed with an ultraviolet light or similar device that allows dentists to view issues that are not always detected by the human eye during an oral exam. Just as annual visits to the physician offer preventive measures for optimal health, Family & Cosmetic Dental Care offers an oral cancer screening exam in order to watch for and catch any problematic signs in the mouth.

At Family & Cosmetic Dental Care, we conduct an oral cancer screening exam as part of our regular routine dental appointments. While many dentists offer this service for an extra fee, we feel that it is an essential part of our oral care to all of our patients. For the most trusted source of dental care and state of the art oral cancer screenings, contact Family & Cosmetic Dental Care today in order to make us your lifelong dental care provider. We are currently accepting new patients, and we look forward to caring for your dental health.
