Signs Of Oral Cancer: What Not To Ignore

This message from Weston Spencer DDS in La Jolla CA focuses on a very serious issue: oral cancer. Oral cancer claims tens of thousands of lives each year, which is why we offer oral cancer screenings at each checkup. Early detection can make all the difference!

Signs to Look For

  • A lump or thickening in your throat
  • White or red patches on your tongue, tonsils, or lining of your cheeks and gums
  • Numbness of any oral feature
  • Any type of lesion, cut, or canker-type sore that doesn’t heal within 14 days
  • If you notice anything unusual, be sure to tell us or your doctor.

We perform basic screenings. If we notice anything suspicious, there is no immediate cause for alarm. We won’t know right away if we’re looking at something cancerous, but will probably refer you for additional testing.

Early detection through an oral cancer screening at Weston Spencer DDS in La Jolla CA can make all the difference, and only takes a few minutes. People from Solano Beach, Del Mar, and Claremont also come to our practice for complete general dentistry. Contact us for an appointment today!

Testimonials

I've been going to Dr. Spencer's office for almost 15 years now and they have always had outstanding customer service. On Monday, Taylor took her time to answer all of my questions and concerns with patience and kindness. She even helped me put on my favorite show to watch while she cleaned my teeth! Thank you to the whole staff for making my teeth cleaning experience so enjoyable.

-Jake S

Another great experience at the dentist today. Ashley, my dental hygienist, is very thorough. She is outstanding. This office is beautiful & I really like the massage chair. La Jolla can be very busy but they have free parking in the parking structure. I regularly refer people to Dr Spencer. 5 stars

-J Stephen

The dental practice is top notch. The space has been renovated. It is sleek, bright, and inviting. Everyone i have encountered there is helpful and cordial. The dental hygienist Ashley is gentle, meticulous, and thoroughly professional. Dr. Spencer is excellent and knows how to manage a successful practice. Highly recommended.

This office is seriously the best! I’ve never loved going to the dentist, but this office makes the experience enjoyable! When I go in here I always feel comfortable and the experience has always been 10/10! I always see Ashley for my teeth cleanings. She does an amazing job and is so efficient and gentle. Such a great office!

-Allyson S.

Great office. Dr. Spencer and all his staff are always a pleasure. Appreciate how they run on time and don't try to push me into treatments I don't want. Taylor is great for cleanings--quick, painless, and fun. I'm amazed at how she remembers everything we talked about 6 months ago. The best!
