What do mouth cancer screenings entail?

[Anna Desosa]

Mouth cancer screenings typically involve a visual examination of the mouth, tongue, and throat by a healthcare professional. They may also include physical examinations, such as feeling for lumps or abnormal tissue, and sometimes the use of special tools like mirrors or lights to get a better view. In some cases, additional tests like biopsies or imaging scans may be recommended for further evaluation.
