Your health, our priority.

Taking charge of your health feels empowering, doesn’t it? Regular mouth cancer screenings give you the incredible peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re being proactive about your wellbeing. Early detection truly makes all the difference – it can dramatically improve outcomes and often means less invasive treatments if anything is found.

Mouth cancer screening – what to expect

We will perform a mouth cancer screening during your routine appointments. This involves examining your mouth, gums, lips and tongue for abnormalities such as:

  • Lumps.
  • Patches.
  • White or red areas of tissue.
  • Changes to how your teeth sit in your mouth.
  • Changes to your voice and speech.

A happy and healthy future.

Studies have shown that with early detection, mouth cancer is one of the most treatable cancers. If you do notice any abnormalities with your mouth in the time between your routine appointments, please get in touch to make an appointment. The earlier we see you, the earlier we can act to support you.

FAQs

What are the symptoms of cancer in the mouth?

  • Persistent sore patches on the tongue or cheek that don’t heal in 2 weeks.
  • Ulcers with rolled edges or firmness on touch.
  • Pain out of proportion to looks.
  • White/red patches that won’t budge.
  • Trouble opening wide from fibrous bands.

What are the risk factors for oral cancer?

It’s possible for mouth cancer to develop in anyone. However, there are risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing:

  • Use of tobacco products.
  • Regular consumption of alcohol.
  • Sun exposure (without SPF protection or a hat).
  • Family history of oral cancer.

What happens if my dentist notices an abnormality?

If we notice something that doesn’t look quite right, we may refer you to a specialist for further investigation.

Our kind and compassionate team will guide you through the next steps and offer you the support you need. We can also help with prevention and lifestyle advice moving forward, to reduce your risk of mouth cancer in the future.
