At Malmesbury Dental & Specialist Referral Centre, mouth cancer screening is an integral part of every routine dental examination and advanced hygienist appointment. This means that each time you visit us, your oral health is assessed not only for teeth and gums, but also for early signs of oral cancer or other abnormal changes in the soft tissues of the mouth.
During the screening, your dentist or hygienist carefully examines the lips, cheeks, tongue, floor of the mouth, palate, and throat. They also check the jaw and neck for any unusual lumps or swelling. This process is quick, non-invasive, and forms part of our commitment to providing thorough, preventative dental care.
