What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
Olney Pediatric Dentist
Oral cancer screening is an important component of preventive dental care, designed to identify early signs of oral cancer. This screening involves a careful examination of your child’s gums, tongue, and other soft tissues in the mouth for any unusual lesions, lumps, or discolorations. While oral cancer is rare in young children, early detection is crucial if any abnormalities are observed. For older children and teenagers, these screenings help catch potential issues early, significantly improving the chances of successful treatment and potentially preventing the condition from advancing.
Routine oral cancer screenings are quick and non-invasive, providing an additional layer of protection by ensuring that any potential issues are detected and addressed promptly. These screenings are part of a comprehensive approach to maintaining your child’s overall oral health and peace of mind.
