Looking for Lumps and Bumps
Looking for Lumps and Bumps
Ever wonder what we are doing when we say “Stick out your tongue.”, “Say Ah.”, and feel your neck? We are looking for lumps and bumps that do not belong, or discolorations as part of an Oral Cancer Screening.
What we know about oral cancer:
Oral cancer kills an average of one person an hour here in the U.S. and 100 new cases will be diagnosed each day.
The leading cause of oral cancer is no longer tobacco use, but exposure to HPV. HPV or the Human Papilloma Virus is a sexually transmitted disease that people can carry and not have any symptoms.

The 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is low when not caught in the early stages.
Early Detection is Key
You may have a lesion and feel no pain or discomfort. Any unusual color change or swelling in your mouth that does not heal in 2 weeks needs to be checked by a dentist right away.
Check out this great video on how to perform an oral cancer screening on yourself at home:
At each hygiene appointment, the hygienists will screen your mouth and Dr. Medina will always perform an oral cancer screening with your exam.

And I thank them for their patience.



Dr Medina (and crew!) is the best dentist that has ever worked on my mouth!
They are focused on keeping you comfortable and to have as minimal pain as possible. They are also “teeth perfectionists”. Everything they do is done right. I’m so happy to have Season of Smiles as my dental office! They are amazing! 👍🏻
