Oral Cancer Screening

At Creditview Dentalin Mississauga, our dentists offer thorough screening and early detection of oral cancer.

About Oral Cancer

Oral cancer is a cancer that can affect any part of the mouth or surrounding tissues, including lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, palate, sinuses and throat.

With oral cancer, symptoms are typically not immediately noticeable, which is why oral cancer screening is important to help identify traces of oral cancer early. 

The Screening Process

The oral cancer screening examination is simple, completely painless and only takes two minutes.

A small, handheld device is used to shine the light in your mouth. We will shine it on your cheeks, tongue, floor of the mouth, palate, and throat. Within minutes, we will be able to determine the health of all these soft tissues.
