Early detection of oral cancer facilitates early and aggressive treatment and can lead to better outcomes and survival rates. It is also important to communicate with your dentist or a physician if you notice continued changes in your mouth or throat. This could include swelling, sores (ulcers), numbness or difficulty swallowing or chewing. However, it is important to note that oral pain does not always occur with oral cancer. For this reason, it is very important to receive annual screenings even if you are not having any symptoms.

At our Riverbank Modern Dentistry, patients receive oral cancer screenings in the comfort of our clean, contemporary office. At Riverbank Modern Dentistry, patients come first and everything we do is with the patient in mind. We take the time to get to know you so that we can provide you with personalized dental care that meets your individual needs.
