Oral Cancer Screening
Early Detection for Peace of Mind and Better Outcomes
Oral cancer screening is a simple yet vital examination that helps detect early signs of oral cancer—often before symptoms become noticeable. At Dr. Anamika Jha’s dental clinic in Jamshedpur, oral cancer screening is included as part of our preventive General Dentistry care, with a strong focus on early diagnosis and patient safety.
Early detection significantly improves treatment success and survival rates. The National Cancer Institute emphasizes that identifying cancer at an early stage leads to better outcomes and less invasive treatment.
What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening is a quick, painless examination of the mouth, gums, tongue, cheeks, throat, and surrounding tissues. Dr. Anamika Jha looks for unusual sores, patches, lumps, or changes that may need further evaluation.
The screening is non-invasive and takes only a few minutes, but it can play a crucial role in protecting long-term health. According to the American Cancer Society, routine screenings help identify early warning signs that patients may otherwise overlook.
Who Should Get Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening is recommended for everyone, especially individuals who:
Use tobacco or consume alcohol
Have a history of oral lesions
Are exposed to excessive sunlight (lip cancer risk)
Notice persistent mouth sores or unexplained pain
Even without risk factors, regular screening is an important preventive step.

Early Screening Saves Lives
Oral cancer often shows minimal symptoms in its early stages. Timely screening helps detect concerns early and allows prompt referral if needed. As highlighted by the Oral Cancer Foundation, regular screenings are one of the most effective ways to reduce oral cancer risks.
