Early Oral Cancer Screening for Lasting Health
At Luxe Dental Arts in Clear Lake, TX, we prioritize early detection of oral cancer as an essential part of your routine dental care. Our annual screenings are quick, non-invasive, and designed to catch potential issues early, giving you the best chance for effective treatment and peace of mind.
What You Should Know About Oral Cancer
Oral cancer is sometimes referred to as a “silent disease” because it can develop without noticeable symptoms. It can affect the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and the roof or floor of the mouth. If left undetected, it can progress quickly and become life-threatening. Common risk factors include tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus (HPV). No matter the cause, regular screenings are essential—early detection can save lives and help prevent serious complications or disfigurement.
Key Signs and Symptoms of Oral Cancer
Although screenings are essential for early detection, it’s also important to recognize potential warning signs:
- Persistent sores or ulcers in the mouth that fail to heal
- Red or white patches on the gums, tongue, or inner cheeks
- Lumps, thickened areas, or rough spots in oral tissues
- Numbness, tingling, or unusual discomfort in the lips or mouth
- Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking
- Noticeable changes in how your teeth come together
If you experience any of these symptoms, or if it has been over a year since your last oral cancer screening, it’s important to schedule an appointment promptly.
