Your health is important, and at Rifai Dental Group, we take it seriously. Every dental checkup includes a thorough oral cancer screening to help detect any signs of this serious condition early on.
According to the American Dental Association, over 50,000 adults in the United States will be diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer this year. Early detection is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. That's why we make sure to include a comprehensive oral cancer screening as part of every dental checkup at our office.
During your dental visit, we'll closely examine the tissues in and around your mouth for any signs of oral cancer. We'll also palpate the jaw, neck, and under the chin to check for any lumps or lesions that could indicate a problem. Our skilled team is committed to providing you with the highest level of care to support your oral health and overall well-being.
