Q.
I read an article about oral cancer screening, it may have been on this site. Anyhow what I would like to know is if cancer oral screenings are a part of common practice at regular check ups at the dentist? I had my 6 month check up the other day but did not have anything that I would have thought to do with oral cancer screening?

A.
The dentist and or the dental hygienist should be completing some form of cancer screening examination yearly. You may not realize they are doing this examination if it is part of the routine examination. If you are unsure, ask your dentist to perform a cancer screening examination for you at least yearly during your regular check up.
