Potomac Dental Centre cares about your oral health. During your regular exams, our dentists will perform an oral cancer screening to check for any abnormalities to protect your oral health.
Oral cancer includes cancers of the lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, cheeks, throat (pharynx), sinuses, and hard and soft palate.
