Oral Cancer Screenings in Houston

Even children need oral cancer screenings! This is an essential part of preventive dental care that can be performed quickly, safely, and usually without your child noticing.

During the screening, the pediatric dentist will examine your child’s mouth, gums, and oral tissues. They’ll look for discolored patches, lumps, growths, and other similar abnormalities. In the rare case that an issue is found, a biopsy may be recommended. 

Scheduling a dental visit for kids every 6 months allows Dr. Hanna to address any issues before they become larger problems.

Why Oral Cancer Screening is Important for Kids?

Oral cancer screening is important for kids to detect any abnormalities early, educate them about oral health, and provide peace of mind to parents. While oral cancer is rare in children, it's not unheard of. Detecting oral cancer early can significantly improve dental treatment outcomes and increase the chances of successful recovery. Regular screenings can help catch any abnormalities or suspicious lesions in the mouth at an early stage.
