Do you have an abnormality inside or outside the mouth you’re worried about? Are you at an increased risk of mouth or neck cancer? Your local dentist in Leesburg, FL at My Dental Touch Studio performs an oral cancer screening at each regular appointment to help keep you healthy.
During the quick and comfortable exam, our dentist looks for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions of the mouth and neck. It’s much easier to remove lesions or abnormal growths when they’re smaller. But most importantly, early detection helps save lives and improves your standard of living.
Factors that increase your chances of developing oral cancer:
- Tobacco use (including chewing tobacco and smoking)
- Excessive alcohol use or poor diet
- A previous diagnosis of mouth cancer
- Excess sun exposure (increases the risk of lip cancer)
While we perform screenings at your regular dental checkups and cleanings, please schedule an exam today if you think you’re at greater risk or experiencing any symptoms.
