When it comes to maintaining your overall health, oral cancer screenings play a critical role that is often overlooked. These comprehensive evaluations can detect signs of oral cancer in its earliest stages, dramatically improving treatment outcomes and potentially saving lives. At Park Smiles in Edison, NJ, we provide thorough oral cancer screenings that take just minutes during your routine dental visit but offer peace of mind that lasts much longer.
Park Smiles, now serving the Edison, NJ area, offers professional oral cancer screenings as part of our comprehensive dental care approach. With our team of over 8 certified doctors and 9 dental experts, we provide specialized care in a warm, patient-focused environment where each screening is conducted with meticulous attention to detail. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that you receive thorough evaluations using the latest detection technology available in modern dentistry.
At Park Smiles, oral cancer screenings involve a comprehensive examination of your entire oral cavity to identify any suspicious areas that might indicate precancerous conditions or cancer. During your visit, our dental professionals will carefully examine your lips, gums, tongue, inside of your cheeks, roof and floor of your mouth, and the back of your throat. This visual examination is painless and typically takes only a few minutes to complete during your regular dental checkup.
Park Smiles utilizes advanced screening technologies including VELscope. This specialized device uses tissue fluorescence visualization to identify abnormal tissues that might not be visible to the naked eye. Our VELscope technology helps us detect suspicious lesions or growths in their earliest stages, when treatment is most effective and least invasive.

Early detection remains the most crucial factor in successful treatment of oral cancer. When discovered in its initial stages, oral cancer has a significantly higher cure rate compared to when it’s found in advanced stages. Our regular screenings at Park Smiles in Edison, NJ lead to detection of cancerous and precancerous conditions before they develop into more serious problems.
Oral cancer can affect anyone, but certain factors may increase your risk. Tobacco use in any form—cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or smokeless tobacco—significantly raises your risk of developing oral cancer. Excessive alcohol consumption, especially when combined with tobacco use, further increases this risk. In recent years, there has been a rising incidence of HPV-related oral cancers, particularly among younger patients who don’t have traditional risk factors.
Even if you don’t have these risk factors, we recommend regular screenings as essential preventive dental care. At Park Smiles, we recommend annual oral cancer examinations for all adults, with more frequent screenings for those with elevated risk factors.
Between your professional screenings at Park Smiles, it’s important to be aware of potential warning signs of oral cancer. Persistent mouth sores that don’t heal within two weeks should be evaluated by our dental professionals. Unexplained bleeding in the mouth or difficulty swallowing may also warrant investigation.
Red or white patches in the mouth are among the most common early indicators of potential problems. These patches, known as leukoplakia (white) or erythroplakia (red), don’t necessarily mean you have cancer, but they may represent precancerous conditions that our Park Smiles dentists will thoroughly examine.
When you visit Park Smiles in Edison for an oral cancer screening, you can expect a thorough yet comfortable experience. Your screening begins with a comprehensive visual examination of all oral tissues. Our dental professionals look for any asymmetries, swellings, bumps, patches of color, or ulcerations.
Beyond the visual examination, Park Smiles uses our specialized VELscope screening device. The VELscope system uses a special blue light that causes healthy tissues to naturally fluoresce. Abnormal tissues appear dark under this light, helping us identify areas that require further investigation. This non-invasive screening method takes just minutes but can reveal concerns that might otherwise go undetected.
If we identify suspicious areas during your screening, we may recommend a follow-up procedure such as a biopsy of suspicious tissue. This involves taking a small sample of cells for laboratory analysis to determine if cancer cells are present. Our prompt follow-up and diagnosis are crucial to effective treatment.
At Park Smiles, oral cancer screenings are a routine part of all dental exams. Most dental insurance plans cover these screenings as part of preventive care, making them accessible to our patients. Even without dental insurance, we offer affordable oral cancer screenings at Park Smiles.
For Medicare beneficiaries, certain screenings may be covered under specific circumstances. Our dental professionals will help determine your coverage options and ensure you receive this important preventive service without unnecessary financial burden.
At Park Smiles Edison, our oral cancer screening services are led by Dr. Krystle Kendall and a dedicated team with specialized training in early detection techniques and comprehensive oral examinations. Our team combines advanced screening technology with thorough visual and tactile examination methods, ensuring no area goes unchecked while maintaining a gentle, reassuring approach throughout the process.
What distinguishes our team is their commitment to thoroughness, early detection, and respect for each patient’s comfort level. We understand that many patients may feel anxious about cancer screenings or are unfamiliar with the process, so we take time to explain each step, discuss risk factors, and address any concerns. Our team performs systematic examinations of all oral tissues, including areas often overlooked, and uses advanced screening lights and techniques to identify suspicious lesions that might not be visible to the naked eye.
With our “one patient at a time” philosophy, we provide unhurried, meticulous attention that ensures comprehensive screening while maintaining patient comfort. This personalized approach, combined with our commitment to preventive care and early detection, helps protect our patients’ health through regular monitoring and prompt identification of any concerns that may require further evaluation.
