Dentist in Westwego, LA, for Oral Cancer Screening
Southern Dental Care Can Be Your First Line of Defense Against Oral Cancer
Our dentist in Westwego, LA, takes your oral health seriously. We believe that early detection is a key part of how preventive dentistry works. That’s why every dental exam includes an oral cancer screening.
In fact, according to the American Dental Association, this screening performed by a trained dentist is an opportunity to catch oral cancer in its early stages.
Patients Appreciate Our State-of-the-Art Technology
While some dentists still conduct oral cancer screenings without using advanced technology, we use the OralID light for every dental screening. This special fluorescent light, which is the size of a small flashlight, can locate abnormal tissue undetectable to the human eye. OralID sends a blue light into your oral cavity, turning normal tissue a bright green. A dark area displayed can mean the presence of abnormal tissue.
We know that early detection of oral cancer is the key to successful treatment.
That’s why our screening is a crucial part of caring for your overall oral health.

Overall, your dentist at Southern Dental Care will do a careful examination of all your oral tissues, including the areas around your lips, cheeks, tongue, roof, and floor of your mouth.
