Early Detection Can Save Lives
Oral cancer can be a silent disease, often showing no symptoms in its early stages. This is why regular screenings are so important. Our dentists in Brisbane are trained to detect even the mildest of signs of potential issues during your routine check-ups. Catching oral cancer early significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. Think of it as a preventive measure that gives you peace of mind, knowing you're staying on top of your health.
Comprehensive Care at Be Well Dental
When you come in for your regular dental visit, our friendly team doesn't just check for cavities and gum disease. We also perform a thorough oral cancer screening as part of our comprehensive care approach. Using the latest technology and techniques, our dentists in Brisbane examine your mouth, throat, and neck for unusual signs or symptoms. This careful inspection ensures that nothing is overlooked.
Who Should Get Screened?
The short answer? Everyone! Oral cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age or lifestyle. However, some factors can increase your risk, such as:
- Tobacco use
- Heavy alcohol consumption
- Excessive sun exposure to the lips
- A history of oral cancer
Even if you don't fall into these categories, getting screened regularly is still important. Our dentists help you understand your risk factors and provide the best care.
A Simple, Painless Process
We understand that the idea of cancer screenings can be daunting, but rest assured, the process is simple and painless. During your appointment, our dentists in Brisbane will gently examine your mouth, looking for any red or white patches, sores, or lumps. We'll discuss the next steps if anything unusual is found, ensuring you're informed and comfortable throughout the process.
