Oral cancer affects thousands of Americans each year, including patients without traditional risk factors. Screening is quick, painless, and part of routine care at our San Felipe office.
Self-check at home
Once a month, look for asymmetry, color changes, or ulcers that do not heal. Palpate under your jaw and along the neck for tender lumps.
Professional follow-up
If we see a suspicious area, we document it, measure it, and schedule re-evaluation or referral. Early biopsy planning saves tissue and treatment intensity later.
