Cancer Screenings

Our team firmly believes in providing comprehensive oral care for our patients. Maintaining a healthy smile is very much rooted in preventative measures. Therefore, we always perform oral cancer screenings during your professional dental visits as a courtesy to all our patients.

What is an Oral Cancer Screening?

An oral cancer screening is a quick and painless examination of your head and neck area to detect any signs of cancerous or precancerous conditions. In less than five minutes, we can thoroughly assess your cheeks, tongue, gums, and rest of the oral cavity to put your mind at ease or encourage further testing. We also use Velscope to complete our Oral Cancer Screening.

What are the indicators?

Oral cancer may come in many forms that often go unrecognized by patients. That’s why we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment if you see or suspect any of the following:

Chronic sores
Ongoing oral pain
Lumps or thickening on soft tissue
White or red patches on the cheeks, tongue, gums, or tonsils

Our team at Family Dentistry Group believes that every patient, especially those who regularly drink, smoke, or use tobacco products, should get an oral cancer screening during every visit. With early diagnosis, you have a better chance at removing the short and long-term dangers of oral cancer.

**edited to add to the review. I have not been to the dentist in over 10 years. There were many issues including lack of insurance. I was embarrassed and scared. They treated me with such kindness and respect and made the whole process wonderful. The dentist and my hygienist Kristie were phenomenal. I'm so glad I got past my fear and went. I can't wait to go back and I NEVER thought I'd say that. *I don't think I can leave two reviews so I am adding to the first one. I spent significantly more time with the dentist today as I had to have 5 extractions. Obviously never a fun time, She could not have done a better job at making me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I am so pleased with the treatment Of patients at this office, that I have referred people who don't even live in the are, Thai have also had bad dental experiences elsewhere. There is not enough emphasis on the importance of quality dental care. Unfortunately it is treated as an luxury in this country rather than a necessity that it is. I feel that Family dental of Exeter understands this.

There is no way I thought I would be raving about a dentist or a dental practice. This office has been my go to for the last year and I truly admire their professionalism. I had an extraction today and they did their best to help me overcome my fear. Overall the entire experience was very pleasant and I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.
