Like many kinds of cancer, oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Dry Creek Dental includes an oral cancer screening as part of their regular dental exams as part of their ongoing dedication to their patients’ overall wellness. Common symptoms of oral cancer include red or white spots or sores in the oral cavity, a sore that bleeds easily or does not heal, a lump, thickening, or rough spot in the mouth, pain, tenderness, or numbness anywhere in the mouth and lips, or difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking, or moving the jaw or tongue. The staff at Dry Creek Dental have the skills and tools necessary to ensure that early signs and symptoms of oral cancer and precancerous conditions are identified and handled immediately.

Dry Creek Dental asserts that in addition to receiving an oral cancer screening during a visit to their office, other ways to prevent oral cancer include stopping use of any and all tobacco products and consuming alcohol in moderation, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet, limiting exposure to the sun, and always wear sunscreen on the skin as well as the lips.

Dr. Michael McCormack, the owner of Dry Creek Dental, said “Our team is trained in a simple, quick screening that involves an examination of your oral cavity as a whole to detect cancerous and precancerous conditions. This includes a visual examination of your mouth, but we will also feel the tissue of your mouth and throat to detect any abnormalities. If we notice any areas of concern, we may perform a brush test to collect cells from a suspicious lesion to send to the laboratory for analysis. If the test were to come back atypical or positive, we might recommend a biopsy. We do each of these steps because we care about our patients’ overall oral health, teeth, gums and all. We want our patients to know they are receiving the best care possible while in our office.”
