At Comprehensive Dental Care, we believe prevention is just as important as treatment. That’s why we recommend a quick and painless oral cancer screening at least once per year. Dr. Bodnar carefully checks for early signs of oral cancer – because catching it early can make all the difference. It’s a small step that brings big peace of mind.
Early detection saves lives. Oral cancer screenings at Comprehensive Dental Care are quick, painless, and can catch warning signs early - when treatment is most effective.
Dr. Bodnar recommends a thorough oral cancer check at least once per year during regular dental exams, examining your mouth, jaw, neck, and throat.
Avoid tobacco, limit alcohol, protect your lips from the sun, and eat well. Pair these habits with regular dental visits to stay protected.
Oral cancer screenings are fast, non-invasive, and done right in the chair - no discomfort, no downtime, just peace of mind.
Your health is our priority at Comprehensive Dental Care – which is why we recommend oral cancer screenings as part of your preventive care. Dr. Bodnar carefully examines your mouth, tongue, lips, throat, and even your neck and jawline for any signs of concern. We may use a special light to spot abnormal cells or gently collect a sample for lab testing if needed.
This quick, painless screening can detect early warning signs of cancer long before you notice anything yourself. And when caught early, oral cancer is highly treatable.
Early detection can save lives. Oral cancer often starts quietly, with subtle signs you might miss at home. With routine screenings, we can identify potential issues early—giving you the best chance at successful treatment.
You’ll simply sit back while Dr. Bodnar performs a visual and physical exam of your mouth, jaw, and neck. If something looks unusual, we may use a light to get a better look or take a sample for further testing. No pain, no stress—just peace of mind.
There’s nothing special you need to do before your oral cancer screening. Just keep up your usual brushing and flossing routine, and let us know if you’ve noticed any recent changes in your mouth, such as persistent sores, difficulty swallowing, or unusual lumps.
You can lower your risk of oral cancer by making smart lifestyle choices:
Avoid tobacco products
Limit alcohol use
Protect your lips with SPF
Eat a healthy diet
Keep up with regular dental visits
Your next checkup could be life-saving—so don’t skip it!
