Oral Cancer Screening in Cumming, GA

At All Smiles Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, your health is our top priority. That’s why we offer comprehensive oral cancer screenings as a vital part of your routine dental care. Led by Dr. Miles, our team combines advanced dental technology with a gentle, patient-centered approach to detect the earliest signs of oral cancer. Whether you’re here for a regular cleaning or you’re concerned about a specific issue, we’re here to provide clarity, reassurance, and expert care every step of the way.

What Is a Professional Oral Cancer Screening?

A comprehensive oral cancer screening is a quick, non-invasive way to detect abnormal tissue or warning signs before they become serious. During your appointment, Dr. Miles will examine your mouth, lips, tongue, gums, jaw, and throat, looking for anything unusual. This type of oral health screening is not only preventive, it’s potentially life-saving.

How Often Should I Get an Oral Cancer Screening?

We recommend getting an oral cancer screening at least once a year during your routine exam. If you have increased risk factors, such as tobacco or alcohol use, a history of HPV, or a family history of cancer, Dr. Miles may recommend more frequent screenings as part of your personalized care plan.

Is Oral Cancer Screening Included in My Regular Dental Exam?

Yes. At All Smiles, every comprehensive oral exam includes an oral cancer screening. Our preventive dental care philosophy means we go beyond the basics to ensure you’re getting a full picture of your oral and overall health.

What to Expect During a Dental Cancer Screening

Your screening will be quick, gentle, and reassuring. Here’s what typically happens during your oral pathology exam:

• Dr. Miles will visually examine your mouth, gums, lips, tongue, and throat
• She’ll gently palpate your jaw, face, and neck to check for any irregularities
• If necessary, she may use specialized lighting or diagnostic tools to view deeper tissue layers
• Any unusual areas will be documented and, if needed, further diagnostic steps will be discussed with you

How Long Does an Oral Cancer Exam Take?

A full oral cancer screening usually takes less than five minutes. But those five minutes can give you peace of mind and, in some cases, may even save your life. It’s a simple, powerful part of your ongoing preventive care.

How Much Does an Oral Cancer Screening Cost?

There’s no separate fee for your screening—it’s included as part of your routine dental exam at All Smiles. If additional diagnostics are needed, we’ll walk you through every detail. We also work with many dental insurance plans and assist with out-of-network claims to help you access the care you need without unnecessary stress.
