Studies show that mouth cancer is on the increase and that early detection dramatically improves the chances of recovery. We carry out mouth cancer screening at every dental check-up.
If you have any sores, lumps or long-term ulcers in your mouth, no matter how small or if they are painful or not, it is very important that you come in to have it looked at.
Late detection of mouth cancers has resulted in a higher proportion of deaths per number of cases than breast cancer, cervical cancer or skin melanoma, with about 2,700 deaths per year in the UK.
