Oral Cancer Screening

With Identafi®, detecting oral cancer early has never been easier. The procedure is $20 in-office, even without insurance (though a lot of insurances will cover the cost).

Professionals agree that it’s important for patients over the age of 17 to be screened for oral cancer at least once per year. In fact, the CDC recommends it. However, if there’s an obvious change in your mouth or throat that includes sores or spots and persists for more than two weeks, it’s incredibly important that you relay this information to your dentist as soon as possible. In its early stages, the signs and symptoms of oral cancer can be easily missed by the naked eye. The CDC reports that, ‘oral cancer accounts for two to four percent of all cancers diagnosed annually in the United States, but relative survival rates are among the lowest of major cancers.’

Why wait? This procedure is simple, painless, and takes less than 3 minutes. Keep in mind: early detection of oral cancer means that you’re more likely to have success with treatment, and ultimately a better outcome.
