Why Oral Cancer Screening Matters

Oral cancer affects the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and throat. When detected early (Stage I), the 5-year survival rate exceeds 80%. When found at a late stage, this drops below 40%. Yet many people have no symptoms in the early stages — making routine dental screening critical.

Oral cancer screening is included as part of every comprehensive checkup at our Songdo clinic. Our dentist examines the soft tissues of your mouth, throat, and neck for any suspicious lesions, ulcers, or abnormalities — referring for biopsy when necessary. The entire examination takes just 2–3 minutes.

  • Visual and tactile examination of all oral soft tissues
  • Examination of lips, tongue, cheeks, palate, and floor of mouth
  • Neck lymph node palpation
  • Identification of suspicious lesions, ulcers, or patches
  • Referral for biopsy when indicated

Oral Cancer Questions

What expats in Songdo ask about oral cancer screening.

What are the warning signs of oral cancer?
Warning signs include: a sore that doesn't heal within 2 weeks, unexplained bleeding, a lump or thickening in the mouth or neck, a white or red patch inside the mouth, difficulty swallowing or chewing, chronic sore throat, or numbness in the mouth or face. If you notice any of these, contact us promptly — don't wait for your next routine visit.
Who is at highest risk for oral cancer?
The highest risk factors are tobacco use (smoking or smokeless), heavy alcohol consumption, HPV infection (particularly HPV-16), excessive sun exposure (lip cancer), and age over 40. However, oral cancer increasingly affects younger adults without traditional risk factors — screening is important for everyone.
Is oral cancer screening painful?
No — oral cancer screening is completely painless and non-invasive. It involves visual examination and gentle palpation of the soft tissues and lymph nodes. The entire screen takes 2–3 minutes and is automatically included in your routine dental examination.
