Oral Cancer Screenings
Early Detection Matters: Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer can be life-threatening if left undiagnosed, potentially spreading beyond your mouth to other areas of the body. Because its symptoms often mimic those of other oral and general health conditions, early detection is crucial.

Protect Your Health with Regular Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer can develop in multiple areas, including the lips, mouth, tongue, cheeks, throat, sinuses, and hard palate. While highly treatable in its early stages, it often goes undetected until it reaches an advanced and more difficult-to-treat phase. At Luf Dental, we are committed to early detection and prevention, providing comprehensive oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental checkups.
Common Symptoms of Oral Cancer:
✔ Persistent sore throat or the sensation of something stuck in your throat.
✔ Unexplained bleeding in the mouth.
✔ A sore on the face, neck, or mouth that doesn’t heal within two weeks.
✔ Numbness or pain in the face, mouth, or neck.
✔ Ear pain without an apparent cause.
✔ Lumps, rough patches, or tender spots on the lips, gums, or mouth.
✔ Red, white, or speckled patches inside the mouth.
✔ Difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking.
✔ Changes in how your teeth or dentures fit together.
Our dentist, Dr. Howard Lufburrow, and his team will carefully check for these symptoms during every screening to help safeguard your oral and overall health.
