Oral Cancer Screenings in Fairport, NY
Early detection saves lives. At Spruce Grove Dental, we provide thorough oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental care.
Why Oral Cancer Screenings Are Important
Oral cancer is a serious condition, but it's often treatable when caught early. Regular screenings are vital for identifying changes in your mouth that may signal a problem. Our screenings are quick and comfortable.
Signs of Oral Cancer to Watch For
- Persistent mouth sores
- Red or white patches in the mouth
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- A lump in your neck or jaw
- Chronic hoarseness
If you've noticed any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment for a screening today.
Who Needs an Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screenings are essential for everyone, but some groups are at higher risk: tobacco and alcohol users, individuals over the age of 40, those with a family history of cancer, and patients with HPV. Even if you don't fall into these categories, routine screenings are part of a proactive approach to your oral health — and part of every cleaning and exam at Spruce Grove Dental.
Our Oral Cancer Screening Process
- Visual Examination — We inspect your lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, and throat for unusual lesions or discoloration.
- Tactile Examination — Using gentle pressure, we check for lumps or irregularities in your jaw and neck.
- Advanced Technology — When necessary, we use specialized tools to enhance detection.
This quick, noninvasive procedure is included in your routine dental visits.

From the patients who know us best.
We’re proud of the relationships we build — here’s what our Fairport patients are saying.
“Awesome office! Awesome dentist! Awesome staff!”
“I switched dental providers because of insurance policy needs and I am so incredibly happy!... Dr. Adler did a very comprehensive evaluation of my teeth ... never before completed to that level...and he spotted areas of concern that my former dentist never caught. I am almost 79 years old and I have never experienced a dentist of his competence and skill! I'd recommend him to everyone... young and old!!”
