Also known as an oracl cancer exam, a mouth cancer exam is quick and painless. During either a special appointment or  regular 6 month checkup with Dr. Affleck, simply request that he look for any signs of mouth cancer, and he will inspect your face, neck, lips and mouth to see if there are any signs of cancer.

Signs may include lumps, redness or white patches, swelling or abnormal color or texture.

Oral cancer can occur anywhere on the roof of your mouth, the floor of your mouth, under your tongue, or any surface including toward the neck ares.
