Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral Cancer Screening in Tysons Corner, VA
A simple, painless screening that can catch oral cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage — included as part of your regular exam.
Early detection saves lives
A few painless minutes that matter
Oral cancer is highly treatable when caught early — but its warning signs are easy to miss on your own. That's why Dr. Seiren Ajineh includes an oral cancer screening as part of your regular checkups at Westpark Dental Studio in Tysons Corner.
The screening is quick, painless, and non-invasive. Dr. Ajineh visually examines and gently feels the tissues of your mouth, lips, tongue, and throat, looking for any unusual spots, sores, or changes. When indicated, we use special screening technology to highlight areas that warrant a closer look.
Because early detection dramatically improves outcomes, we recommend a screening at every six-month visit — especially for patients who use tobacco or alcohol or have other risk factors. It's one more way we protect the health of our McLean and Tysons Corner patients.
