Visual exam
During this portion of the exam, your healthcare provider will look for lesions (areas of abnormal tissue) in your mouth and throat.
Palpation
Your healthcare provider will also use their fingers to feel (palpate) for lumps or bumps around your face, neck and jaw. Be sure to let them know if you have areas that are sore or tender.
Oral cancer screening dye
Many healthcare providers use oral cancer screening tools like toluidine blue dye to look for signs of oral cancer. They’ll coat any lesions with the dye, which can help identify areas that are likely to become cancerous.
Oral cancer screening light
There are also special lights that can help identify abnormal tissues in your mouth. To use this tool, your healthcare provider will ask you to rinse your mouth with a fluorescent mouthwash. Next, they’ll shine a special light in your mouth, which makes healthy tissue look dark and abnormal tissue look white.
