Oral Cancer Screenings for Early Detection

Cancer is never a word someone wants to hear. With the latest dental technology, Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS has the ability to detect abnormalities that may lead to oral cancer for his patients in the New Hyde Park, NY area.


Oral cancer screenings are performed in our office with an ultraviolet light that allows us to see more than can be seen by the human eye. Oral cancer screenings are meant to detect abnormalities before symptoms show. When it comes to cancer, the earlier it is caught, the better the chances of survival are. By the time symptoms show, the cancer may have already spread.


Routine oral cancer screenings are good for anyone, but particularly for those who are at an increased risk. Factors that increase the risk of oral cancer include heavy alcohol use, tobacco use, significant sun exposure, or a previous oral cancer diagnosis. If you are at an increased risk for oral cancer, make sure to ask Dr. Pandya about an oral cancer screening during your next visit.


Safety and health of our patients is our top priority, which is why Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS offers oral cancer screenings at his New Hyde Park, NY dental practice. To schedule your next routine visit and to learn more about our oral cancer screening process, call us at (516) 233-2135 or visit our website, www.goinggrin.com
