Sores, discolored patches, or lump that won’t heal?
Changes in your mouth aren’t always painful. A sore that doesn’t heal, an unusual patch, discoloration, or another persistent change should be evaluated, even if it isn’t causing discomfort.
Screening during your dental exam
At Tomlinson Dental, we examine your mouth and surrounding tissues as part of your routine care. If we notice anything that needs a closer look, we’ll explain what we see and recommend the appropriate follow-up or referral.
Book Your VisitWhen should you get checked?
Oral cancer screenings are part of your routine care. If you notice a sore, patch, or lump that lasts longer than two weeks, contact us for an evaluation rather than waiting until your next check-up.
