At Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert, we include oral cancer screening as part of every routine checkup, so there is no need for a separate appointment or an extra fee for this vital preventive service. Our goal is to make caring for your health easy, comfortable, and accessible for the whole family.
What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
Early detection through screening is one of the most important factors in successful treatment. We include it in every regular check-up, at no extra cost, as part of our commitment to preventive care for patients of all ages.
What Happens During the Screening?
No special preparation is required for your oral cancer screening appointment with us. During your visit, your dentist will visually inspect your mouth for unusual patches, sores, or asymmetries and will gently palpate the tissues to feel for any lumps or thickening. The screening itself is visual and tactile, takes only a few minutes, and does not involve any needles or dental instruments.
What If Something Unusual Is Found?
Most findings during screenings are benign, but we believe in giving you all the information you need, calmly and without rushing.
Why Regular Screening Matters
We believe early detection is essential for the best outcomes, and by including oral cancer screening in our routine check-ups, we help ensure any signs are caught as soon as possible. This screening is part of our patient-friendly approach to dentistry for every member of your family.
Comfort and Accessibility at Every Visit

Preparing for Your Appointment
Before your visit, especially if you are new to our clinic, we recommend bringing a government-issued photo ID, your dental insurance card, a list of any medications you take, any relevant medical records or previous dental X-rays if available, and details about any dental concerns you'd like to discuss.
