Mouth cancer screenings
The early signs of mouth cancer can often be seen.
When changes are found early there is a very good
chance of a cure. Lifestyle choices have a big effect
on our risk of mouth cancer. People who use tobacco
and drink too much alcohol have the highest risk of
mouth cancer. Up to three-quarters of mouth cancers
are caused this way. Early detection saves lives.
Sometimes the early signs of mouth cancer do not cause
pain or discomfort but they can be seen. Dentists
have special training to help them identify health
problems and are often the first to spot early changes.
This is why a regular Dental Check up is important.
The
Mouth Cancer Foundation is a registered charity that
raises awareness of mouth cancers and provides information
and support to patients, carers and health professionals.
