Understanding Your Oral Health Screening
An oral cancer check is a clinical examination used to identify signs of abnormal tissue in the mouth, including the gums, lips, and tongue. It involves a detailed inspection of the oral cavity and surrounding structures to detect lesions or spots that may not be visible to the naked eye. This noninvasive process is a fundamental component of preventive dental care.
