Cary Oral Cancer Screening
Easy, lifesaving protection for your health
Early detection starts here
Your oral health is about more than just your teeth — it’s also about protecting your overall health. That’s why at TrueCare Dentistry, every patient receives a Cary oral cancer screening as part of their exam. This quick, painless check can spot early signs of oral cancer, when it’s most treatable.
For all new patients, we take this a step further with advanced iTero oral health scans. These detailed digital images help us detect even subtle changes in your mouth over time, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed.

Your questions, answered
What happens during an oral cancer screening?
We carefully examine your mouth, tongue, gums, and throat for any unusual spots, lumps, or changes. The process is quick, comfortable, and completed during your regular dental exam.
How often should I get screened?
We perform oral cancer screenings at every checkup (typically every six months) to make sure we catch any concerns as early as possible.
Who is most at risk for oral cancer?
Tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, excessive sun exposure to the lips, HPV, and a family history of cancer can increase your risk. But oral cancer can affect anyone, which is why we screen every patient.
What are the early symptoms of oral cancer?
Early symptoms may include sores that don’t heal, red or white patches, persistent sore throat, difficulty chewing or swallowing, numbness, or a lump in your mouth or neck. These signs aren’t always painful, so regular screenings are the safest way to catch problems early.
