Stay Proactive with Oral Cancer Screenings in Vacaville

At Vacaville Dental Group, your well-being is our highest priority. That’s why we include thorough oral cancer screenings in every comprehensive dental exam. Oral cancer can be life-threatening if left undetected, but regular screenings give us the chance to identify early signs—before they become more serious.

What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?

An oral cancer screening is a quick, non-invasive part of your routine dental visit. Our experienced dental professionals carefully examine your:
  • Lips
  • Tongue
  • Gums
  • Cheeks
  • Roof and floor of the mouth
  • Throat and tonsils
We look for unusual sores, lumps, red or white patches, or any tissue irregularities. The entire process takes only a few minutes but can play a crucial role in safeguarding your health.

Why Oral Cancer Screenings Matter

Early detection makes all the difference. When oral cancer is identified in its early stages, the success rate of treatment increases significantly, and procedures are often less invasive. Unfortunately, many cases are found too late. That’s why Vacaville Dental Group includes oral cancer screenings as a standard component of your dental checkup.

Are You at Risk?

Oral cancer can affect anyone, but certain factors increase the likelihood, such as:
  • Tobacco use (smoking or chewing)
  • Heavy alcohol use
  • HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
  • Excessive sun exposure (especially the lips)
  • Family history of oral cancer
  • Being age 40 or older
Even if none of these apply to you, screenings are still important. Oral cancer can impact individuals of all backgrounds and lifestyles.

What to Expect During Your Screening

This screening is:
  • Quick
  • Painless
  • Part of your routine exam
Our dental team will visually inspect your mouth and gently palpate the jaw, neck, and lymph nodes to detect anything unusual. If we notice something concerning, we’ll refer you for further evaluation—no discomfort, just peace of mind.

Your Partner in Preventive Dental Care

At Vacaville Dental Group, we believe preventive care is key to long-term health. By incorporating oral cancer screenings into every checkup, we help ensure that nothing is overlooked.

Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go to Waste: Use Them Before Year-End

If you have dental insurance, chances are you're paying for benefits that are designed to help keep your smile healthy. Unfortunately, many patients don't realize that these benefits often reset at the end of the plan year — meaning any unused coverage is lost. At Vacaville Dental Group, we want to make sure you get the most out of the plan you're already paying for by scheduling your preventive care and necessary treatments before your benefits expire.
