Benefits of Oral Cancer Screening

At our dental practice, we offer oral cancer screenings to help detect any signs of cancer in the mouth. Early detection of oral cancer is essential for successful treatment and can help save lives. Our oral cancer screenings are quick and painless, and can help detect any signs of cancer before they become more serious.

Our oral cancer screenings are designed to detect any signs of cancer in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat. We use advanced technology to detect any abnormalities in the mouth that could be indicative of cancer. Our screenings are also designed to detect any precancerous lesions that could potentially develop into cancer. By detecting these lesions early, we can help prevent the development of cancer.

Our oral cancer screenings are an important part of preventive care and can help detect any signs of cancer before they become more serious. We recommend that all our patients receive regular oral cancer screenings to ensure their oral health is in the best possible condition.

Types of Oral Cancer Screening Tests

At Dushane Dental Arts, we understand the importance of oral cancer screenings and take them very seriously. We offer a variety of tests to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care. Our oral cancer screening tests include visual and physical examinations, as well as laboratory tests. During a visual and physical examination, our dentists will look for any signs of oral cancer, such as lumps, sores, or discoloration. We also use laboratory tests to detect any abnormal cells in the mouth. These tests can include a biopsy, which involves taking a sample of tissue from the mouth and examining it under a microscope.

We also offer advanced imaging tests, such as CT scans and MRI scans, to detect any abnormalities in the mouth. These tests can provide detailed images of the mouth and throat, allowing our dentists to detect any signs of oral cancer. We also use special dyes to highlight any suspicious areas in the mouth. All of these tests are designed to detect any signs of oral cancer as early as possible, so that our patients can receive the best possible treatment.

Who Should Get an Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral cancer screenings are an important part of preventive dental care. Everyone should get an oral cancer screening at least once a year, but certain individuals may need to get them more often. People who are at higher risk for oral cancer, such as those who smoke or chew tobacco, should get an oral cancer screening at least twice a year. Additionally, individuals who have a family history of oral cancer should also get an oral cancer screening more frequently.

At a dental practice, oral cancer screenings are typically done during a routine dental exam. During the exam, the dentist will look for any signs of oral cancer, such as lumps, sores, or discoloration in the mouth. If any suspicious areas are found, the dentist may recommend further testing to determine if it is cancerous. By getting regular oral cancer screenings, you can help ensure that any potential issues are caught early and treated quickly.

What to Expect During an Oral Cancer Screening

At our dental practice, we offer oral cancer screenings to help detect any signs of cancer in the mouth. During the screening, our experienced dentists will examine your mouth, throat, and neck for any signs of cancer. We will also check for any lumps, sores, or other abnormalities. We may also take a sample of any suspicious tissue for further testing.

The screening is quick and painless, and it is important to have regular screenings to ensure that any signs of cancer are detected early. Our dentists are highly trained and experienced in performing oral cancer screenings, and they will be able to answer any questions you may have. We strive to provide the highest quality of care to our patients, and we are committed to helping you maintain your oral health.

Risks and Side Effects of Oral Cancer Screening

At a dental practice, oral cancer screenings are an important part of preventive care. During an oral cancer screening, a dentist or hygienist will look for any signs of cancer in the mouth, such as lumps, sores, or discolored patches. While oral cancer screenings are generally safe, there are some risks and side effects associated with them.

The most common risk associated with oral cancer screenings is discomfort. During the screening, the dentist or hygienist may use a lighted instrument to examine the inside of the mouth. This can cause some discomfort, but it is usually mild and temporary. In some cases, the dentist may need to take a biopsy of any suspicious areas. This can cause some pain and bleeding, but it is usually minor and will go away quickly.

Overall, oral cancer screenings are a safe and effective way to detect cancer in its early stages. While there are some risks and side effects associated with the procedure, they are usually minor and temporary. If you have any concerns about the risks and side effects of oral cancer screenings, be sure to talk to your dentist.

Right above the renowned LAVO ristorante, Dushane Dental on the 4th floor over looks part of Hollywood/Beverly Hills border. One of the greatest dentist teams in the world. Dushane Dental has a team of Rockstars. Shelly, Love, Joey, and Tiffany are all phenomenal in what they do. They do it with such grace and tenacity. No need to be afraid of going to the dentist with this group; your absolutely in great hands. I’ve only been in LA since winter 2018 and I’ve shopped a couple hand fulls of dentists, this is by far the best and teetering on world renowned with their exceptional attention to detail. Shelly loves doing her patients cleanings as much as I love getting a cleaning. Tiffany and Joey are both ever so meticulous with their due diligence. Greatness like this isn’t achieved over night. Cheers to this rockstar team. I’m literally looking forward to every visit. Please consider Dushane Dental whether in or out of network with your insurance. Update: I bought a teeth whitening package at Dushane dental and WOW it turned my teeth white! Check out the photos in my Review

Incredibly helpful, clean and polite. Dr Dushane was so nice, as my hygienist Shila, office manager Joey, and Julian. Joey was super nice and as polite as could be, and showed me how safe and clean the office was upon entering. (You are supposed to call while you are outside the office and they let you in!) Shila was thorough, professional, and constantly checking if I was having any pain. (I wasn't) Julian was personable and friendly, and a pleasure to talk to. Dr. Was very through, and went over many issues other dentists dismissed. Very professional from the time I walked in to the time that I left. Answers all my questions. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for an amazing dentist, stop searching! Make an appointment with Dr. Dushane ASAP. Every single person on her team is amazing, and she's kind, gentle, and professional. I was nervous about switching dental providers (because my employer switched insurance), but after reading all the previous reviews I decided to give her a chance. Trust me, you won't regret the level of service, care, and kindness. Their prices are reasonable, the office is spotless and clean (very important), the equipment is modern, and she really sets the tone for a friendly and helpful environment. She, and her team, get 5 STARS! Thank you Dr. Dushane, for everything you do!

Best dentist I've ever had - amazing receptionist and hospitality, dental technician and Dr. Dushane is as lovely as she is knowledgeable. They recommended a periodontist to me as well and it was a wonderful recommendation. Can't speak highly enough of Dushane Dental Arts!

Highly recommend Dr. Dushane, she's knowledgable and direct. Switched to her office after my old dentist retired. I spent a lot of time searching for a trustworthy dentist who doesn't want to jump to drilling and filling. She's definitely the right balance between wait and see and take action. Love Sheila the hygienist and Joey at the front desk is really great too. And their office is super clean which is important for a dentist! 5 stars all around.

I have never been so excited to go to the dentist in my life. This place is a dream. Joey, who manages the front desk, is an expert in insurance and is extremely on top of everything. The whole office is extremely experienced, they have all the new tools to give you a phenomenal cleaning, and they are SUPER NICE to boot! Cannot recommend Dushane Dental enough.

An outstanding experience from initial examination through to completed treatment. Dr Dushane and her team are top notch - friendly, professional, efficient and skilled. I hadn't been to a dentist for a few years and my teeth required some serious 'fixing'. I left my first appointment after a deep cleaning, with a full understanding of what treatment was required and with detailed print-out of the cost and the contributions my insurance company would make. I would be travelling abroad for the Summer so Joey made sure to fit me in before my departure date. Although the follow-up appointment was lengthy due to the number of filings required, it was one of the smoothest procedures I've ever had. One thing I hadn't anticipated was the positive cosmetic effect resulting from replacing old metal fillings with white composite ones. In short, I can't recommend Dr Dushane highly enough. A brilliant dentist and practice.
