Oral Cancer Screening Beaumont, TX

Protect Your Smile With Early Oral Cancer Detection

At Luxe Dental Arts in Beaumont, TX, we emphasize the importance of early detection of oral cancer. That’s why we recommend scheduling an oral cancer screening at least once a year as part of your routine dental care. These screenings are fast, non-invasive, and can identify potential issues early—when treatment is most effective.

Understanding Oral Cancer

Often referred to as a “silent disease,” oral cancer can develop without obvious symptoms. It can affect multiple areas of the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and the roof or floor of the mouth. If left undiagnosed, oral cancer can progress quickly and become life-threatening.

Common risk factors include:

Tobacco use (smoking or chewing)
Excessive alcohol consumption
Human papillomavirus (HPV)

Regardless of the cause, routine screenings are essential. Each year, thousands of people in the U.S. die from oral cancer. Survivors may also experience serious side effects, including disfigurement or the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.

Signs and Symptoms to Watch for

While screenings help catch oral cancer before symptoms appear, being aware of warning signs is important:

Sores or ulcers in the mouth that don’t heal
Red or white patches inside the mouth
Lumps, thickened areas, or rough spots in oral tissue
Numbness or discomfort in the lips or mouth
Trouble chewing, swallowing, or speaking
Changes in how your teeth fit together

If you notice any of these symptoms—or if it has been more than a year since your last screening—it’s time to schedule an appointment.
