About Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer is highly treatable when found early. As part of every comprehensive exam at Calgary South Dental, your dentist performs a thorough oral cancer screening — gently examining your lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, throat, and neck for any unusual changes. It takes only a few minutes, and it could save your life.

Know Your Risk Factors
Tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, HPV, prolonged sun exposure to the lips, and a family history of cancer all increase risk — but oral cancer can develop in anyone. Watch for sores that don't heal, persistent red or white patches, lumps, or numbness, and tell us right away if you notice anything new.
