Oral Cancer Screenings & Preventive Care
Keeping Your Smile and Health Protected at Every Visit
Preventive care is more than just clean teeth, it’s the foundation of lifelong health. At Perinton Dental Group, we believe in proactive, thorough care that protects both your smile and your overall wellness.
Protecting More Than Just Your Smile
Whether it’s your routine exam or a follow-up visit, our team is trained to detect issues early, so you can stay healthy, confident, and in control.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer is a serious condition that often develops silently, but early detection dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment. At Perinton Dental Group, we perform comprehensive oral cancer screenings during routine exams to check for early signs of concern, including:
- Changes in gum or tongue texture, shape, or color
- Red or white patches in the mouth
- Persistent sores, lumps, or swelling
- Unexplained sensitivity or pain
Common Risk Factors for Oral Cancer
- Tobacco use (smoking or smokeless)
- Heavy or frequent alcohol use
- HPV (human papillomavirus) infection
- Excessive sun exposure to the lips
- History of oral or other cancers
- Age 45 and older
- Weakened immune system
- Poor diet or lack of fruits and vegetables
- Chronic oral irritation from dental appliances or rough teeth
If you’ve noticed something unusual or are overdue for an exam, don’t wait—schedule your screening today.
Preventive Dental Care
Preventive dentistry is your best defense against future dental problems—and we make it simple. Our routine cleanings and exams are designed to catch small issues early, when they’re easiest to treat. From digital X-rays and fluoride treatments to oral cancer screenings and personalized advice, we tailor every visit to your needs and goals. With consistent preventive care, you can avoid costly, invasive procedures later and enjoy a healthier smile for life.
