Frequently Asked Questions

15 questions answered by our editorial team

Basic visual screening is typically included in routine cleanings at no extra cost. Enhanced screening with VELscope or OralID adds $30-$75 per visit.

Every 6 months as part of your routine cleaning. Higher-risk patients (smokers, heavy alcohol use, HPV+) should be screened every 3-4 months.

Non-healing mouth sores (> 2 weeks), unexplained white or red patches, a lump in the neck, persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or a feeling that something's caught in the throat.

Smokers, heavy alcohol users (especially combined), HPV-16 positive, sun exposure (lip cancer), immunosuppressed patients, and anyone 55+ with a history of use.

VELscope uses blue light fluorescence to detect tissue changes invisible to the naked eye. Abnormal tissue appears dark under the light, flagging areas for biopsy.

Small abnormalities are usually re-checked in 2 weeks. Persistent lesions are biopsied — either in-office or by referral to an oral pathologist.

Early-stage oral cancer has 80%+ five-year survival. Late-stage drops to 30%. Regular screening is the single biggest factor in early detection.

HPV-16 is linked to oropharyngeal cancers (back of the throat), now more common than traditional smoking-related oral cancers. The HPV vaccine reduces risk.

Yes — monthly self-exams in good light help you catch changes. Look for sores, lumps, discolored patches, or asymmetry. Report anything persisting > 2 weeks.

Basic screening is bundled with preventive cleanings and covered at 100%. Enhanced fluorescence screening is often an out-of-pocket add-on unless you're high-risk.

Both use fluorescence to detect tissue changes. OralID uses a different wavelength and is sometimes more sensitive for white lesions. Your dentist will choose based on training and patient population.

Dentists visually check the oropharynx and palpate lymph nodes, but full ENT evaluation requires an otolaryngologist. Symptoms like chronic hoarseness or throat pain warrant referral.

Local anesthesia makes oral biopsies essentially painless. Mild soreness for 2-3 days post-biopsy is normal.

Yes — untreated oral cancer can spread to lymph nodes, then distantly to lungs, liver, or bones. Early detection prevents this.

Quit tobacco, limit alcohol, get the HPV vaccine, use lip sunscreen, eat fruits and vegetables, and get regular dental screenings.
