Dental Emergencies

Early detection can make all the difference. At The Center of Dentistry, we offer oral cancer screenings as part of our commitment to your total health—not just your teeth. These screenings are simple, non-invasive, and can help detect early warning signs of oral abnormalities before they progress.

We recommend a comprehensive screening at least once a year, especially for patients with risk factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or a family history of cancer.

Oral Cancer Screenings in Timonium, MD

Oral cancer can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. When detected early, treatment is more straightforward and outcomes are significantly better. That's why we perform visual screenings at every regular checkup—and why we recommend a dedicated oral cancer screening at least once a year.

Even if you’re not experiencing discomfort or visible symptoms, a yearly screening is a proactive way to protect your health.

Patient Reviews

An oral cancer screening is a quick and completely comfortable evaluation of the soft tissues in your mouth and surrounding areas. During your exam, Dr. Rosen will:

  • Visually inspect the lips, cheeks, tongue, throat, and roof of the mouth
  • Gently feel the face, neck, and glands for unusual lumps or swelling
  • Use advanced technology, including laser diagnostics, to detect changes below the surface

What Is an Oral Cancer Screening?

These tools allow us to identify lesions, leukoplakia (white patches), or other tissue changes that may not be visible to the naked eye.

If we find something unusual during your screening, we’ll develop a diagnostic and treatment plan right away. In most cases, this might include:

  • Monitoring the area over time
  • Creating a diagnostic impression
  • Referring you for a biopsy (if needed) to determine the stage and grade of the lesion

What Happens if We Spot an Abnormality?
