Treatments / Preventative dentistry / Screening
Mouth cancer screening.
Around 8,300 people are diagnosed with mouth cancer each year in the UK, with the rate increasing every year. Screening uses handheld scanning technology to detect lumps or lesions early.
Know the signs
The symptoms worth a phone call.
Non-healing sores on the lips or mouth, loose teeth, oral pain, ear pain, growths inside the mouth, difficulty swallowing, and white or red patches inside the mouth.
Around two in every three mouth cancers are linked to smoking, so regular smokers should attend screenings more frequently. We advise annual screening alongside regular check-ups.
