Oral Cancer Screening in Melbourne

Oral cancer can affect anyone, even people with healthy lifestyles.

Every year more than a thousand people are diagnosed with oral cancer in Australia. If you smoke and drink alcohol, your risk is 15 times higher than others. However, even non-smokers account for a quarter of all cases. Extended sun exposure and sexually transmitted viruses may also lead to oral cancer.

Early detection is the key to survival, as early detection gives you up to a 90% chance of surviving oral cancer. Unfortunately, the death rate is high as most oral cancers are detected too late.

Symptoms of oral cancer

Oral cancer can be painless, making detection difficult. Signs and symptoms to look out for include:

  • Red and white patches in your mouth
  • An ulcer that does not heal
  • Numbness in your mouth
  • Difficulty chewing, speaking, and swallowing

The goal with cancer screening is to detect the disease at its earliest stage, when it is most curable, giving you the highest chance of survival.

At The Point Dental, we perform oral cancer screening as part of your regular dental check-ups. We encourage all our patients, even those without any natural teeth, to attend our clinic twice yearly for check-ups. Do yourself a favour and book your next dental check-up to ensure your oral health isn’t compromised by oral cancer.

Have been going to this dentist since 2017 and I've had multiple visits most of the years since and I'm always amazed at how good they are ... Currently Olga is doing my dental work and she is caring and professional. Cannot be faulted. I have no hesitation in recommending this clinic. The best dentist I've ever been to.

I was so scared about going to the dentist and ashamed of the state of my teeth, I needed and chose to have All On 4 done. Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental, were very professional at all times, they made the experience a comfortable one with all of their support every step of the way. I even cried with joy after it was all done. I can now smile again without embarrassment. I already have and will again, highly recommend Wilfred and his team at The Point Dental.

I've been visiting this clinic for 2 years. Dr Michael Seng is a friendly and caring dentist. I have recommend my friends and they are very happy with Dr Seng too. I have moved my children to see Dr Evelyn Teo in this clinic as Dr Seng is not accepting new patients. Dr Evelyn Teo has a sense of humour and she makes us feel comfortable. Both dentists, Dr Seng and Dr Teo, will give constructive feedback to improve our oral hygiene and explain everything in detail. If I could, I really want to give 10 stars for both of them.

I highly recommend The Point Dental for anyone, but especially for people who have any stress or anxiety associated with the dentist. The front office team have been amazing, they are warm and friendly. I'd like to point out Natalie who has helped me from my first enquiry and has made be feel very welcome and comfortable. Dr Olga Kaini has been looking after me, she is friendly, highly professional, and has been very patient with me about my dental anxiety. She has done her best to make me feel comfortable and at-easy while in the chair and can't thank her enough. I have full confidence and trust that the team at The Point Dental have my best interest at heart. If you are looking for a dentist embodies professionalism, compassion and skill, then look no further. And if you think your dental anxiety gets too much, ask for the green whistle!
