Our oral cancer screenings check your mouth, jaw, and neck for unusual changes that may require monitoring or further evaluation.
During an oral cancer screening, we check your lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, throat, jaw, and neck for unusual changes. The examination is quick and does not require needles or incisions.
Routine dental visits give our team an opportunity to examine your mouth and note changes that may need attention. An oral cancer screening may be completed as part of your dental examination.
Bleeding, swelling, and changes in the gums can have several causes. We evaluate your gum health and examine any unusual areas to determine the next step.
Regular dental exams allow us to monitor your teeth, gums, and other tissues in your mouth. If we notice an unusual change, we explain whether it should be watched, rechecked, or evaluated further.
We take detailed photos inside your mouth to document your oral health. These pictures help us track any changes over time and explain findings clearly.

Your screening may include a visual examination of your mouth and a physical examination of your jaw and neck. Dr. Fedler may also use an additional light-based screening device when appropriate.
If needed, a light-based screening device may be used alongside the visual and physical examination. Any unusual finding may require monitoring, another examination, or referral for further testing.
