Mouth Cancer Screening

The well-being of each and every patient is our priority and checking for the early signs of mouth cancer is an invaluable aspect of dental care.

Early detection dramatically increases the chance of recovery. Our team will routinely carry out a mouth and neck cancer screening at your regular check-up appointment. This service is also available to any non-registered patient at no charge.

What does mouth cancer screening involve?

Your dentist will check the soft tissue lining of your palate, tongue and cheeks for anything that they think might need further investigation. They will also check and feel any lumps in the head and neck region.

How can I reduce the risk of mouth cancer?

It has been found that smoking and heavy alcohol consumption increase the risk of oral cancer. It is also important to remember to protect your lips from the sun and maintain good oral hygiene. If you have any concerns, speak to one of our team for further information.
