Proaction Makes Prevention

At every hygiene visit, we examine all the tissues of your mouth, including gums, cheeks, lips, tongue, and jaw. Many patients are surprised at the extensive area covered during an oral cancer screening. Regular soft tissue screenings are just as important as professional dental cleanings.

Oral cancer can affect anyone, with tobacco users at a significantly higher risk. Chewing tobacco, in particular, contains up to 3,000 different chemicals, including those found in pesticides and embalming fluid. These harmful substances can cause cellular changes below the surface, often undetectable until advanced stages.

Early detection and treatment of oral cancer can significantly increase your chances of a quick and complete recovery. According to the American Cancer Society, about 7,000 deaths result from oral cancer out of 30,000 cases diagnosed annually. If we notice any unusual changes in your mouth tissue, we may recommend a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab.

Many non-cancerous changes can occur in your mouth’s tissue, such as oral warts and autoimmune lesions. Dr. Sukhjit Singh applies his expertise in oral pathology to evaluate abnormalities and determine whether to monitor or remove them.

We understand tobacco holds strong addictive powers over even the most health-conscious people. If you’re determined to quit, we want to support you in your efforts. Talk to your hygienist or Dr. Sukhjit Singh about the strategies and resources we have available so you can kick the habit.
