Oral Cancer Screening
Take proactive steps in protecting your health with oral cancer screening at PerioWorks. Oral cancer affects over 30,000 people each year in the U.S., with early detection being a key factor in successful treatment outcomes. At PerioWorks, Dr. Saqqal and his team are dedicated to providing advanced screenings that are painless, thorough, and potentially life-saving.
Why Oral Cancer Screening is Essential
Your oral health is an essential part of your overall well-being. Oral cancer often develops without any noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making routine screenings critical. Early detection not only significantly improves treatment success but also helps prevent unnecessary complications.
At PerioWorks, we use advanced technology—including lasers capable of detecting abnormalities beneath the surface—to ensure a comprehensive examination. This non-invasive method makes the process seamless while giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
What to Expect During Your Visit
When you come in for your screening, Dr. Saqqal will perform a painless, expert examination of your oral cavity, face, neck, and glands to check for abnormalities like lesions, red patches, bumps, or any tissue thickening. Lasers may be utilized for enhanced detection of areas not visible to the naked eye.
Some key signs we will investigate include:
- Red patches or sores that persist or bleed.
- Leukoplakia, a white or gray raised patch inside the mouth.
- Lumps or thickened tissue in the throat or mouth.
If abnormalities are found, Dr. Saqqal will work closely with you to establish a personalized treatment plan. This could include options such as excision, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy based on the diagnosis.
