Oral Cancer Screening
As part of your biannual examination at our practice, your dentist conducts a comprehensive oral cancer screening protocol, assessing both the exterior and interior of your mouth.
Early detection of oral cancer is crucial
In the UK, nearly 8,000 individuals receive an oral cancer diagnosis annually. These cancers can manifest in various regions of the mouth, including the tongue, lips, and other areas within the head and neck, such as the throat, salivary glands, pharynx, larynx, and sinus.
Early detection of oral cancer is crucial, as tissue changes indicative of cancer often present visible and palpable signs.
