Oral Cancer Screenings in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Oral cancer is markedly more survivable when it is found early, and the difficulty is that early lesions do not hurt. A white or red patch, a sore that has not healed in two weeks, or a lump you can feel but not see are the kinds of things a dentist notices well before a patient does.

At Bluewater Dental, an oral cancer screening is part of every routine exam at our Palm Beach Gardens office rather than an add-on you have to request. We check the tongue, floor of the mouth, palate, cheeks, throat, and the lymph nodes in the neck, and anything questionable gets referred for biopsy rather than monitored indefinitely.
