How Does A Screening Test for Oral Cancer Work?
During your screening, our dental team will carefully check for any red or white patches, sores, or unusual growths in your mouth, gums, tongue, and throat. We'll also examine your neck to ensure everything is healthy. These screenings are typically performed at Coyne Oral Surgery during your regular oral exams, making it easy and convenient to keep up with your oral health.
Oral cancer symptoms can manifest in a number of ways. You might notice persistent sores that don't heal, lumps or thickened areas in the mouth, or red and white patches. Difficulty swallowing, unexplained pain, or bleeding in the mouth can also be signs. If any of these symptoms occur, it's important to get checked right away. If we do find concerning signs, we'll then discuss your oral cancer treatment options, which could involve surgery, radiation, or other therapies, depending on the severity. Dr. Coyne and our team are here to guide you through every step.

Coyne Oral Surgery Reviews
Incredibly compassionate doctor and staff. I cannot recommend this office enough. Fair pricing and highly skilled. The best!
Had an impacted wisdom tooth with cyst removed yesterday by Dr Coyne and I can’t imagine it going any better! I too was one of those very anxious patients and looking back that was probably the hardest part of my procedure. The wait. So if you’re considering using Dr Coyne and her team for some type of oral surgery…just DO IT!! Friendly people who are VERY good at what they do.
I was extremely nervous about getting my wisdom teeth removed. Dr Coyne and her assistant Marlena were incredible! Marlena made my experience incredible through her comforting communication before and during the procedure. I can't thank her enough. Dr Coyne is an absolute Professional at what she does. She was so fast and efficient when she removed my teeth. I barely have any pain or swelling. I highly recommend everyone who needs Oral Surgery to go to them. You won't find a better place!
I recently endured the most severe tooth pain I have ever encountered, and the team at Coyne Oral Surgery went above and beyond to ensure my tooth was extracted on the same day. I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional customer service I received. I will wholeheartedly recommend their services to everyone.
They did an amazing job. Everyone was very friendly. They walked me through every step as they were doing it. They do everything they can to make you comfortable. I will definitely be going back. Thank you for all the help 💕🙏🏻
