In Beverly Hills, where we take pride in appearances, it’s easy to forget that some of the most important things can’t be seen at all. Oral cancer is one of them. Often painless and invisible in the early stages, this disease can quietly develop without warning signs. That’s why regular screenings matter more than you think.

We offer oral cancer checks not as an afterthought, but as a vital part of your overall health routine. A few minutes in the chair could give you peace of mind—or even save your life.

Think of it as a checkup for things you can’t see. An oral cancer screening comprises a thorough examination of your mouth, tongue, throat, and jaw region. It’s quick. It doesn’t hurt. And it helps detect small problems before they become big ones.

We’re not just scanning the surface. We look for patches, lumps, or anything that feels or looks off. Areas like your inner cheeks, gums, lips, and the floor of your mouth are common spots where signs first appear.

You don’t need to smoke or drink to be at risk. Even people with no obvious habits can develop oral cancer. That is why we feel everyone should have a checkup at least once a year.

You don’t need symptoms to benefit from a screening, but if you’ve noticed any of these, book an appointment sooner rather than later:

We keep things simple, and we walk you through every step:

1. Start with a conversation:  We will ask about your health history and any symptoms you've had.
   
   
2. Next, a visual check: Next, we will look around your lips, tongue, throat, etc.
   
   
3. Then a physical exam: We will gently feel your jawline, neck, and under your chin for anything unusual.
   
   
4. Follow up if needed: If we notice anything odd, we’ll discuss the next steps. That might mean a closer look, a specialist referral, or a small sample taken for testing.

Most of the time, everything looks fine. But if something is off, we’ll make sure you know exactly what to do.
