ABOUT Oral Cancer Screening

What Is Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral Cancer screenings are an important part of our regular dental exams and involve a careful examination of the inside of your mouth and tongue.

Our Boca Raton, FL dentists are specifically trained to spot the early warning signs of oral cancer with proper screening techniques. More than 30,000 cases of oral cancer are diagnosed each year. The good news is that oral cancer can easily be diagnosed with an annual oral cancer exam, and effectively treated when caught in its earliest stages.

The following signs will be investigated during your oral cancer screening:

Red patches and sores – Red patches on the floor of the mouth, the front and sides of the tongue, white or pink patches which fail to heal and slow healing sores that bleed easily can be indicative of pathologic (cancerous) changes.
Leukoplakia – This is a hardened white or gray, slightly raised lesion that can appear anywhere inside the mouth. Leukoplakia can be cancerous or may become cancerous if treatment is not sought.
Lumps – Soreness, lumps, or the general thickening of tissue anywhere in the throat or mouth can signal pathological problems. Oral cancer exams, diagnosis, and treatment.

  Dr Markowitz has been my dentist for over 14 years. He is professional, knowledgeable and very exact and detailed. His work is impeccable. His office is well managed. Organized, extremely clean and well maintained with the latest equipment. From the office manager Alex who is calm and precise to the Hygenist Holly whom is one of the best Hygenists I have ever been too. Now with the addition of Dr Cela you totally feel you are in good hands.

  Dr. Markowitz and his staff genuinely care about their patients, their teeth and their experience in the dentist’s chair. I came in for a complex procedure that I was a little nervous about. Dr. Markowitz made it seem simple and easy. He was very focused, precise and careful to make sure I was comfortable and that the procedure was a success. His staff is friendly and caring and all have a nice rapport which makes the office environment a happy, positive one. I feel completely confident in Dr. Markowitz and know that the dental work I receive is of the best quality. I highly recommend Great Boca Smiles and Dr. Markowitz.
