Early Detection Saves Lives — Every Checkup Counts

At Cryptodental, we protect more than your teeth. Every routine checkup includes a quick, painless oral cancer screening that could save your life. Often silent in early stages, oral cancer’s survival rate soars with early detection. In just minutes during your visit, we offer peace of mind by spotting potential issues.

Our team is skilled at identifying early signs, especially for high-risk patients. Whether you use tobacco, drink heavily, or have no risk factors, anyone can be affected. Early action is your best defense.

🔍 What Happens During an Oral Cancer Screening?

Our gentle exam checks:

• Tongue (top, bottom, sides)

• Roof and floor of the mouth

• Cheeks and lips inside

• Gums and throat back

• Jawline, neck, and lymph nodes

We look for sores, lumps, red or white patches, swelling, or unhealed changes after two weeks. If needed, we explain findings, suggest monitoring, or refer you to a specialist for a biopsy. Most cases aren’t cancer, but early follow-up is key.

⚠️ Common Risk Factors for Oral Cancer

Risk increases with:

• Tobacco use

• Excessive alcohol

• HPV exposure

• Sun exposure (lips)

• Age over 40

• Family history

• Weakened immunity

Even without risks, annual screenings are vital, as many cases occur in low-risk individuals.
