Oral Cancer Screening
Meet Dr. DixonDuring your dental exam, Dra. Camille Dixon will look for signs of precancerous or cancerous conditions in your mouth. Your dentist in Pompano Beach, FL will also examine and palpate the sides of your neck and under your jaw. Additionally, she will carefully check your lips, tongue, palate, and the floor of your mouth. Early detection of oral cancer is crucial for successful treatment. The main risk factors for oral cancer include:
- Use of tobacco in any form: cigarettes, cigars, pipes, snuff, or chewing tobacco.
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- A previous diagnosis of oral cancer.
- History of significant sun exposure, which increases the risk of lip cancer.
How Often Do I Need Dental X-Rays?
At Dr. Camille Dixon‘s practice, we utilize digital dental x-rays. This technology allows for immediate viewing of the teeth with less radiation exposure to the patient. The radiographic image is displayed on a large screen for careful inspection.
Everyone’s mouth and dental needs are different, which is why x-ray recommendations can vary from patient to patient. For an adult, it is important to have a current full set of x-rays for a complete initial examination. The frequency of check-up x-rays can differ depending on each patient’s dental history and their need for dental restorations and/or periodontal therapy.
How Often Do I Need A Dental Exam?
Following your initial comprehensive evaluation, a dental check-up every six months is recommended. During these follow-up visits, Dr. Camille Dixon will assess your oral health progress and may recommend future treatments, gum therapy, or the appropriate frequency for your next monitoring x-rays.
