Oral Cancer Screening Yakima

A healthy mouth leads to a healthy body. If your mouth contains bacteria, it can spread to the rest of your body. Oral cancer too can spread. During your regular dental exam, your dentist will additionally screen for the presence of oral cancer. Early detection is the key to reclaiming a healthy mouth and a healthy body.

Symptoms of oral cancer include:

  • Oral sores that bleed easily and heal slowly
  • Jaw or ear pain while swallowing
  • Numbness
  • Lumps in mouth and throat
Key Benefits of an Oral Cancer Screening:

  • Early Detection: Identifies abnormal tissues or precancerous signs before symptoms appear, increasing chances of successful treatment.
  • Improved Survival Rates: Cancers caught early are more treatable and have significantly higher survival rates.
  • Minimally Invasive: A quick, painless exam that can be done during a routine dental visit.
  • Peace of Mind: Helps alleviate concerns by confirming that your mouth is healthy or addressing issues early.
  • Prevention: Detects risk factors or lifestyle issues (like tobacco or alcohol use) that can be addressed proactively.
  • Preserves Function and Appearance: Early treatment can minimize the need for more aggressive procedures that affect speaking, eating, or facial aesthetics.
  • Cost-Effective: Reduces the financial burden of late-stage cancer treatment by catching issues early.
