Oral cancer is a serious disease that can affect people of all ages and can have serious consequences if not detected and treated early. That’s why we offer a range of oral cancer screening services to help our patients detect oral cancer in its early stages.
Oral cancer is a type of cancer that affects the mouth, tongue, lips, throat, and other areas of the head and neck. It is caused by the growth of abnormal cells in these areas, which can lead to tumors and other complications. Oral cancer can be life-threatening if not detected and treated early.
Early detection is key to treating oral cancer successfully. At our dental clinic, we offer a range of oral cancer screening services to help detect the disease in its early stages. During your dental check-up, our dental professionals will examine your mouth and throat for signs of oral cancer, including:
If we detect any suspicious areas, we may recommend additional tests, such as a biopsy, to confirm a diagnosis of oral cancer.
While oral cancer can affect anyone, there are certain lifestyle factors that can increase your risk. These include:
Tobacco use: Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, as well as using smokeless tobacco products, can increase your risk of developing oral cancer.
Alcohol consumption: Heavy alcohol consumption can also increase your risk of oral cancer.
Sun exposure: Prolonged exposure to the sun can increase your risk of developing lip cancer.
Poor oral hygiene: Poor oral hygiene can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which can increase your risk of oral cancer.
At our dental clinic, we are committed to helping our patients reduce their risk of oral cancer and detect the disease in its early stages. If you have any concerns about oral cancer or are due for a dental check-up, contact us today to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced dental professionals.

Toothache can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include biting into something hard, flossing, getting something stuck in between the teeth or braces. In children, it's a regular part of the developmental process.
Root canal treatment is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth which is intended to result in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.
The length of the dental implant process depends on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the condition of the patient's teeth and gums, and the patient's overall health. Typically, the process takes several months, but our dentist can give you a more accurate timeline based on your individual needs.
Bleeding gums can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include flossing, teeth brushing, chewing tobacco or cuts/abrasions from foods.
After you undergo a tooth extraction, you will need to replace the missing tooth or teeth. If the teeth are not replaced, the bones in your mouth can weaken and lose density. Other teeth also might shift, and you might experience trouble eating.
Not necessarily. While the extraction may hurt if you are under the effects of nitrous oxide, you should not be in excruciating pain. For more serious extractions, you will need stronger painkillers such as oral sedatives or anesthesia.
Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely.
The good news is that you can get your teeth straightened no matter your age. Braces aren't just for kids. Even adults aged 50 and over can benefit from treatment by an orthodontist.
A root canal can prevent infection and ensure the developing permanent teeth stay healthy. Unless the tooth would have fallen out on its own in the near future, a root canal on a baby tooth might be indicated instead of an extraction.
Dental implants may provide a preferable comfort level and better chewing than dentures.
However, dental implants are much more effective than bridges in the long run and are also better in terms of oral health. The fact that they usually last longer than bridges accounts for the high cost that is generally associated with implant surgery.
