Oral Exam & Cancer Screening
Routine Oral Exams & Oral Cancer Screening in Brampton
At Revita Dentistry, we go beyond just checking your teeth. Our thorough oral exams and oral cancer screenings help detect problems early — from cavities to serious lesions. Painless, proactive, and part of your regular dental visit.
Why Oral Exams & Screenings Are More Than Just Checkups
Oral health is a window into your overall health. While brushing and flossing help at home, only a professional oral exam can spot issues hiding beneath the surface. At Revita Dentistry in Brampton, we perform detailed oral examinations to check for decay, gum issues, infections, and even early signs of oral cancer.
This isn’t just about preventing cavities — it’s about protecting your life.
What’s Included in Your Oral Examination?
When you visit us for a routine exam, here’s what you can expect:
- A visual inspection of each tooth for decay, chips, or wear
- Gum assessment for inflammation, bleeding, or periodontal disease
- Bite and TMJ analysis to check your jaw function and alignment
- Digital X-rays (as needed) to detect hidden issues between or beneath teeth
- Review of your existing fillings, crowns, and dental work
- Tongue, cheeks, and throat check for ulcers, lesions, or abnormalities
- ORAL SCREENING
Oral Cancer Screening – Painless & Potentially Life-Saving
Oral cancer can develop silently. Most early signs are easy to miss without a trained eye. That’s why we include oral cancer screening as part of every exam — especially important if you smoke, drink alcohol regularly, or have a family history of cancer.
Our screening involves:
- A visual inspection of lips, tongue, cheeks, roof/floor of the mouth
- Gentle palpation (touch) to detect lumps or swelling in the neck, jaw, and glands
- Identification of unusual patches, discoloration, or non-healing sores
- Patient education on symptoms to watch for between visits
When detected early, oral cancer has a much higher treatment success rate. One exam can make all the difference.
- Who is it for?
Who Should Get Regular Oral Exams?
Everyone. But especially if you:
- Haven’t seen a dentist in over 6 months
- Experience dry mouth, sensitivity, or bleeding gums
- Are 40+ or have a history of tobacco or alcohol use
- Have mouth sores that don’t heal or persistent bad breath
- Want peace of mind that your oral and overall health are on track
Whether you’re in great health or dealing with ongoing issues, regular check-ups help us catch problems before they become complex or costly.
What is included in a dental screening or oral exam at Revita Dentistry?
At Revita Dentistry, your oral exam includes a full evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw alignment, bite function, and oral soft tissues. We also screen for early signs of cavities, gum disease, TMJ disorders, and oral cancer using advanced diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays when necessary.
How often should I get a dental screening or oral check-up?
Most patients benefit from a check-up every 6 months, but some may need more frequent visits based on risk factors like smoking, diabetes, or a history of gum disease. During your visit, we’ll customize your recall schedule based on your oral health profile.
Is an oral cancer screening part of my regular dental check-up?
Yes. Every oral exam at Revita Dentistry includes a free oral cancer screening. We examine your lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, and throat for early warning signs—painlessly and in just minutes. Early detection could save your life.
I don’t have any dental pain. Do I still need a screening?
Absolutely. Many serious dental issues—like decay between teeth, gum disease, and even oral cancer—can progress silently. Dental screenings help us catch and treat problems early, saving you discomfort, time, and money down the road.
Does Revita Dentistry accept patients under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
Yes, we proudly accept patients eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). If you’re unsure about your eligibility or coverage for screening exams, give us a call and we’ll help you verify everything before your visit.
Can I book a same-day appointment for a dental screening?
