A quick, non-invasive visual examination of the mouth, lips, tongue and throat for early signs of oral cancer or precancerous lesions — recommended annually at Casa Dentique, Seawoods.
Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers in India — and one of the most treatable when detected early. Stage 1 and Stage 2 oral cancers have a significantly higher survival rate than late-stage disease. Most early lesions cause no pain — which is why a regular visual screening by a dental specialist is critical. A screening takes less than 5 minutes and can be life-saving.
The lips, gums, tongue (top, bottom and sides), floor of the mouth, cheeks, palate and throat are all visually examined for unusual patches, lumps, asymmetry or lesions.
Red or white patches (erythroplakia or leukoplakia), non-healing ulcers lasting more than 2 weeks, lumps, unexplained bleeding, difficulty swallowing or numbness of the lip or tongue.
Tobacco users (smoking or smokeless), heavy alcohol users, betel nut (supari/paan) users, HPV exposure, and patients with a family history of oral cancer. Screening is especially important for high-risk patients.
The entire screening takes 3–5 minutes. No instruments, no needles, no discomfort. It is performed as part of your routine dental check-up at Casa Dentique.
If a suspicious lesion is identified, Dr. Anjali Katti will recommend a biopsy referral or a short-interval follow-up appointment to monitor the lesion. Early detection leads to early — and more successful — treatment.
Annual oral cancer screening is recommended for all adults over 35, and more frequently for high-risk patients.
