Oral Cancer Screening in Brampton

Oral Cancer Screening in Brampton — Included in Your Exam

Oral cancer isn’t something most people think about — but catching it early can make a major difference. That’s why every exam at Axis Dental Group includes a fast, gentle screening to check for anything unusual.

It’s not a separate procedure, and it only takes a minute or two. Most people don’t even realize it’s happening — but it’s an important step in staying ahead of problems before they start.

✓ Included with regular exams
✓ No needles, discomfort, or extra cost
✓ Focused on early detection and prevention

Who Oral Cancer Screenings Are For

While screening is useful for every patient, it’s especially important if you:

Use tobacco or vape regularly

Drink alcohol often

Have a family history of cancer

Are over the age of 40

Have had changes in your mouth or throat

That said, anyone can benefit. Early signs can be subtle — like a sore that won’t heal or a change in texture. It’s better to check than to wait.

What We Look For During Screening

During your screening, we’ll gently check the soft tissues inside your mouth, including your cheeks, tongue, lips, and the floor and roof of your mouth. We’re looking for:

Unusual patches or textures

Persistent sores or lumps

Changes in colour or shape

Spots that bleed easily or don’t heal

If something seems off, we’ll tell you right away and explain next steps — which may involve monitoring, further imaging, or a referral if needed.

Why Oral Cancer Screening Matters

Oral cancer can develop quietly, without pain or obvious symptoms. That’s why routine screening — even when everything feels normal — helps protect your health long-term. Most of the time, there’s nothing to worry about. But when there is, catching it early gives you more options.
