Oral Cancer Screenings — What to Expect

Your oral cancer screening at Fullerton Smile Dentistry is designed to be quick, comfortable, and thorough. Dr. Zhang will begin with a visual examination, carefully inspecting your mouth for any unusual changes, such as red or white patches or persistent sores. Next, we gently palpate your neck and jaw to check for any lumps or irregularities. In some cases, we may use special lights or dyes to highlight areas that require closer attention. Finally, we’ll discuss our findings with you and answer any questions you may have, ensuring you’re fully informed about your oral health.
