Oral Cancer Screening in Surrey, BC
A few extra minutes that matter
An oral cancer screening is a quick visual and physical check of your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat for anything unusual - sores that won't heal, lumps, or changes in colour or texture. It only adds a few minutes to your regular checkup, but catching changes early makes a real difference in how treatable they are. We include a screening as a standard part of every routine exam.

Frequently asked.
Does an oral cancer screening hurt?
No, it's a painless visual and physical exam that takes just a few minutes as part of your regular checkup.
Who should get screened?
Everyone - it's a standard part of care for all our patients, though it's especially important if you use tobacco or alcohol regularly, given the higher risk.
What are you looking for during a screening?
We check for sores that haven't healed, red or white patches, lumps, and any changes in the texture or colour of the tissue in your mouth and throat.
What happens if something unusual is found?
We'll discuss what we saw, and if needed, refer you to a specialist for further evaluation - most findings turn out to be harmless, but it's always worth checking.
