Oral Cancer Screenings in Gahanna & Columbus

Protecting Your Health with Early Detection

Oral cancer can often go unnoticed in its early stages — but early detection saves lives. At The Smile Method, we make oral cancer screenings a regular part of your dental care in both our Gahanna and Columbus (Upper Arlington) locations. Our goal is simple: catch problems early, when treatment is most effective, so you can continue smiling with confidence.


Why Oral Cancer Screenings Matter

Oral cancer can develop in areas such as the lips, cheeks, gums, tongue, or throat — often without pain or obvious symptoms. A quick, non-invasive screening can help us:

  • 🔎 Check for Warning Signs – Red or white patches, unusual lumps, or sores that don’t heal.

  • 🦷 Detect Changes Early – Identifying problems before they progress.

  • 💬 Have an Open Conversation – Addressing any concerns you may have about your oral health.

With routine screenings, we can provide peace of mind and, if needed, ensure prompt next steps.


Warning Signs to Watch For

Even if you feel healthy, it’s important to know the possible signs of oral cancer. Contact us right away if you notice:

  • Persistent sores or ulcers that don’t heal

  • Red or white patches inside the mouth

  • Lumps or thickened tissue in the cheek, tongue, or neck

  • Difficulty swallowing, chewing, or speaking

  • Unexplained numbness, pain, or bleeding in the mouth


Personalized Care if Treatment Is Needed

If we detect something unusual, you won’t face it alone. At The Smile Method, we’ll guide you through next steps with compassion and clarity. Depending on your needs, treatment may include:

  • Surgical Removal of affected tissue

  • Radiation Therapy to target and control cancer cells

  • Chemotherapy or Targeted Treatments for more advanced cases

We’ll connect you with trusted specialists and ensure your care plan is tailored to your unique situation.
