Screening

Early detection and diagnosis are crucial to managing and treating oral and facial issues effectively, and our screening services are designed with your convenience and peace of mind in mind.
Conditions We Screen For Our screening services cover a range of conditions, including:
- Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer
- Facial or oral lesions (e.g., mucoceles, papillomas, skin warts)
- Swellings or lumps in the mouth or face
- Cysts or abscesses

- Describe Your Issue
We encourage patients to provide detailed information about their symptoms. To help you communicate your concerns effectively, we use the SOCRATES framework:
S – Site: Where exactly is the pain or issue located?
O – Onset: When did it start? Was it sudden or gradual?
C – Character: What does it feel like (sharp, dull, throbbing)?
R – Radiation: Does the pain move to other areas?
A – Associated Symptoms: Do you have any other symptoms (e.g., swelling, redness)?
T – Timing: Is the pain constant or does it come and go?
E – Exacerbating/Relieving Factors: What makes it worse or better?
S – Severity: On a scale of 1-10, how bad is the pain?
Using this framework helps us better understand your condition, ensuring that we provide the most accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Secure Photo Upload
We also provide a secure platform where you can upload photos of the area of concern. This enables our team to evaluate your condition and decide the best course of action. Depending on the assessment, we will guide you online or arrange an in-practice appointment for high-risk cases. All uploaded information is handled securely and confidentially.
Take the first step toward better oral health by scheduling a screening or submitting your details via our secure form today. Whether online or in-practice, we are here to address your concerns and provide expert care.
