The importance of an oral cancer screening at recall  appointments can not be emphasized enough.  So many cancers are found through this quick and easy screening.  A general guideline for checking any lesions at home includes:  any lesion that appears red, white or blue and lasts longer than two weeks should be evaluated by your dentist.  Smoking and the use of tobacco products will also increase the risk for oral cancer.  We at the Reisman Dental Group feel strongly about this exam and perform it routinely at the cleaning appointments.
