What is an Oral Cancer Screening?

An oral cancer screening is a quick, painless way to check for any early signs of cancer or abnormal changes in your mouth. It’s one of those simple but important things you can do for your health—especially if you smoke, drink alcohol, or have a family history of oral cancer.

Catching issues early makes treatment easier and more effective. Even if everything looks great (which is often the case!), getting checked regularly gives you peace of mind and helps you stay on top of your health.

I hadn't been to the dentist in over a decade for various reasons including dental anxiety. Then I, unsurprisingly, got a cavity that put a chip in one of my front teeth. This entire office, including Dr. Jurado have been amazing. I have had a regular cleaning check up and diagnostic, my second visit was a deep cleaning on one side and cavity fill, and third visit was a deep cleaning on the other side. For someone with anxiety, three visits within a month is a LOT, but the entire staff made me feel comfortable, explained procedures completely and never tried to "just sell" unnecessary treatments. I'm so glad I found Paramount, and will be back for regularly scheduled cleanings and checkups.

I had a fantastic experience at Paramount Smile! The staff ( namely Sarairis and Dr. Jurado) was incredibly professional and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The office was spotless and had a welcoming atmosphere. They took the time to explain ways I could improve my oral hygiene and enhance my smile, which I really appreciated. Everything went smoothly, and I’ll definitely be returning for future visits.

I just want to say everyone of the staff made me feel welcomed and made the experience really memorable. Sara creates a sweet and warm first impression of the clinic. Doctor Melissa Jurado treated me very warm and friendly and also was extremely professional, and so did her assistant, Julie. And Laura was so professional, patient and sweet. This location has a great environment and made me feel at ease .
Thank you so much.

Paramount Smile has always treated me very well. Dr. Jurado is an amazing Dentist who always puts my mind and fears at ease and made me feel very comfortable during my dental procedures. Laura the Hygienist was amazing as well and felt no discomfort during the cleaning. Paramount Staff are superb and I highly recommend the office for your Dental care.

Thank you for taking care of me!!
