Oral Cancer Screening
Oral Cancer Screening at Dr. Nakra’s Clinic
Oral cancer doesn’t always show clear signs in the beginning—but catching it early can make all the difference. At Dr. Nakra’s Clinic, we offer quick and thorough oral cancer screenings that can detect suspicious changes before they become serious.
This simple, non-invasive exam takes just a few minutes but could protect your health for years to come.
Who Should Get Screened?
- Use tobacco (smoking or chewing)
- Consume alcohol frequently
- Have a history of HPV infection
- Have persistent mouth sores or irritation
- Are over 40 years old
- Have a family history of cancer
Even if you don’t have these risk factors, a yearly check is a smart move—just like an annual health exam.
You should consider regular screenings if you:
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
- A sore in the mouth that doesn’t heal
- Red or white patches inside the cheeks or tongue
- Difficulty swallowing or chewing
- Numbness in any part of the mouth or lips
- A lump or thickening in the cheek
- Persistent sore throat or hoarseness
What Happens During the Screening?
Visual Exam
We check your lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, floor and roof of your mouth for any unusual changes
Physical Exam
We gently feel around the neck and jaw for lumps or swellings
Special Tools (if needed)
We may use a light or dye to detect abnormal cells not visible to the eye
