We carry out a mouth cancer screening as part of our regular dental check-ups here at The Dentist. Like all cancers, it is of great importance to be able to detect and diagnose mouth cancer early on, which is why we include these screenings as standard.
We understand that the prospect of a mouth cancer screening might be worrying, but there is really no need to be worried at all. Our calm, reassuring, and highly skilled dental team will simply check the mouth for any sores, swellings, red or white patches or any other abnormalities. In some cases, we may also use a special dye or light to help with diagnosis.
If we do find anything to cause us concern, we’ll either ask you back to the practice for a follow-up or refer you to a consultant. We will, of course, talk through everything with you as it happens, and make sure you feel informed and taken care of throughout.
