An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless check for early signs, giving you peace of mind. Available from our caring Gosford team.
An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless, and potentially life-saving part of your regular dental checkup.
Finding any potential issues early creates a significant difference in treatment success. Our experienced Gosford dentists carefully examine your mouth, tongue, lips and throat for any subtle changes, like unusual sores or lumps, that you might not notice yourself.
While risk factors like smoking and heavy alcohol use increase the chances, oral cancer can affect anyone, making regular screening important for everyone’s long-term health.
The screening is simple: just a visual check and gentle feel of the tissues in and around your mouth. It takes only a couple of minutes during any examination appointment you attend at Albany Dental and doesn’t require any special prep. Our gentle approach ensures it’s a comfortable experience.
Our experienced dentists are trained to recognise the early warning signs of oral cancer, which can often be small and easily missed, like persistent sores, white or red patches, or unusual lumps.
Regular screenings offer valuable peace of mind. If our team spots anything unusual, we will promptly refer you for further investigation, ensuring you get the necessary follow-up quickly for the best possible outcome.
We seamlessly include an oral cancer screening as standard practice during your regular dental visits, making it easy and convenient for everyone in the family to stay on top of this vital health check.
Catching any signs early drastically improves treatment success. Our experienced Gosford dentists look for subtle changes you might miss. It’s a vital part of proactive healthcare for everyone. What We Check For:
Red or white patches inside the mouth.
Sores that haven't healed after two weeks.
Lumps or thickening in the cheek, lips, or throat.
Difficulty chewing or swallowing.
Persistent sore throat or feeling of something caught.
Numbness or unexplained bleeding.
Central Coast locals share why this quick check brings peace of mind.
Very warm and friendly staff. From the man at the reception, to the dental assistants, and the dentist himself. I was nervous visiting a new dentist after a long time, but they made me feel comfortable. They were helpful, genuine and warm. I’d recommend Albany dental to anyone seeking professional and kind dental service on the central coast.
Can not rate high enough. Have been coming here for a couple of years, and always have the best experience. All the staff are really lovely; they have always been fully informative and transparent with what they need to do, and most importantly if it doesn’t need doing, they don’t. Good dentists are hard to find. Great ones are impossible. Look no further.
The best dentist on the coast. So friendly, comforting and affordable. I had a bad experience at a different dentist’s office that caused me to avoid going until I found the team at Albany, my faith has been restored. Thank you for taking care of my smile 😁
An extremely warm and welcoming dental surgery! All the staff members my client and I met today were so friendly, polite and informative!! We were very impressed! Highly recommend!
I went to Albany because of all their 5 star reviews and I am more than happy to add to them. Excellent service, prompt, professional, friendly, affordable and most importantly, the quality of work was 10/10.
We recommend an oral cancer screening as part of every routine dental checkup, which is typically every six months for most adults. Regular checks are the key to early detection.
Our trained dentists look for anything out of the ordinary: persistent sores (longer than 2 weeks), unusual red or white patches, unexplained lumps or thickening, difficulty swallowing or numbness. It’s about spotting subtle changes early.
Yes, absolutely. While smoking and heavy alcohol use are significant risk factors, oral cancer can occur in people with no known risk factors. That’s why regular screening for everyone is so important for early detection, and it’s why we include it in your regular checkup.
