Understanding Oral and Tongue Cancer:

Oral cancer involves various types of cancers within the oral cavity, such as the lips, tongue, cheeks, mouth floor, and throat regions. Specifically, tongue cancer affects the tongue’s cell tissues. Indicators may include non-healing sores, unusual lumps, or persistent ulcers, coupled with challenges in chewing, and swallowing, jaw discomfort, or ongoing soreness in the throat. Timely identification greatly enhances treatment success, emphasizing the importance of routine screenings.

Importance of Early Detection:

The prognosis and results of treatment are greatly improved by early identification of tongue and mouth cancer. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we stress the value of routine oral cancer screenings as a component of our thorough dental examinations. Our skilled specialists and cutting-edge screening equipment are skilled at spotting early cancer symptoms, enabling timely and efficient treatment.

Screening and Diagnosis:

Modern diagnostic equipment is used in our clinic to conduct comprehensive screenings for oral cancer. This includes looking things over visually and, if needed, doing more in-depth tests using special lights or dyes to find aberrant cells. To find out if cancer cells are present in any suspicious regions, a biopsy may be performed.
