Why Oral Cancer Screenings Are Essential During Your Dental Visits
Oral cancer affects thousands of Americans each year, but early detection dramatically improves outcomes. That’s why at Pearly Smile Dental Studio, every exam includes a comprehensive oral cancer screening at no extra charge.
What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
A quick, painless exam of your mouth, lips, throat, gums, tongue, and cheeks to look for abnormalities.
Why Early Detection Matters
Cancers caught early have an 80–90% survival rate, while later stages are far more dangerous.
Screening Checks For:
- Sores that do not heal
- Red or white patches
- Lumps or thickening
- Tongue changes
- Difficulty swallowing
Risk Factors Include:
- Tobacco use
- Alcohol consumption
- HPV
- Sun exposure
- Family history
What Happens During the Exam?
Your dentist will:
- Examine soft tissues
- Check lymph nodes
- Evaluate tongue and throat
- Identify early warning signs
Who Needs Screening?
Everyone — including children and adults — should be screened twice a year.

Wonderful experience here. Walked in with yellowed teeth . Walked out with 10 shades lighter 1 day after. Everyone is very professional , experienced, and friendly. Great teamwork and results. I recommend the Pearly White team for dentistry treatment.

I had an exceptional experience at Pearly Smile Dental Studio in Shelby Township during my very first visit, and I can’t say enough good things about the team, especially the office manager, Dorene. From the moment I walked in, Dorene went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She worked tirelessly to help me with my insurance, patiently answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.Dorene’s kindness was further demonstrated when she realized I had driven over an hour from Downriver. Knowing that I needed to see a specialist as well, she immediately contacted a nearby recommended office and arranged for me to have the option to see them the same day. This extra effort meant I could get the most out of my drive, and I was so grateful for that.I chose this office after carefully reading reviews, as I’ve had less-than-perfect experiences at other dental offices over the years. With my dental issues and family history, I had very little faith in finding a trustworthy practice. But Pearly Smile Dental Studio—and especially Dorene—made me feel 100% different. I truly recommend them to anyone looking for a place where they will feel valued and well cared for.
