Oral Cancer Screening in St. Albert, AB
Overview
Early Detection,
Better Outcomes.
At Riverside Landing Dental in St. Albert, oral cancer screening is included as part of every routine checkup — a quick, painless examination that checks for signs of cancerous or pre-cancerous changes in the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, and surrounding tissues. Early detection is one of the most important factors in successful treatment, and because the screening is built into your regular visit, there's no additional appointment or cost. We offer direct billing to most major insurance plans, including Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, and Alberta Blue Cross.
No special preparation is required. Your dentist visually inspects your mouth for unusual patches, sores, or asymmetries, and gently palpates the tissues to feel for lumps or thickening. If anything unusual is found, we'll discuss next steps and refer you to a specialist if needed.
