Background:  Oral complications are common in head and neck cancer patients. Poor oral health is associated with increasing incidence and severity of unwanted effects. Prevention and management of complications can not only improve quality of life but also aid in an uninterrupted continuation of the ideal cancer treatment. Case description:  An interprofessional approach is conducive to minimizing complications during all phases of cancer treatment. Dentists serve as experts in the prevention, diagnosis and management of cancer-related orofacial sequelae. Increasingly, the use of in-office 3D imaging of the face — especially cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) — affords dentists with an overall greater ease and accuracy in locating otherwise undetected oral manifestations of cancer. CBCT technologies offer an advanced point-of-care imaging modality that clinicians should use selectively as an adjunct to conventional 2D dental radiography. CBCT imaging provides clinicians several diagnostic benefits: It allows clinicians to more closely examine the size of lesions, provides an opportunity to more critically assess cortical changes and facilitates surgical treatment planning. We present a case of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the mandible that was diagnosed via examination in a dental office setting and further characterized by CBCT imaging. Practical implications:  The case demonstrates the efficacy with which a well-trained dental team could aid in the detection of serious illnesses, including cancer. It highlights the role of the dental professional not only in the detection of oral cancers like squamous cell carcinoma, but in the symptoms management of even systemic cancers like lymphoma.
