Mouth cancer is often spotted by your dentist during a mouth examination so make sure you attend your routine check ups.
Look out for mouth ulcers that do not heal within 3 weeks. Also, be aware of any lumps or swellings in your mouth head and neck area.
Look out for any change in the colour or texture of your tongue. Always examine the underside of your tongue too.
Early detection is crucial so contact us immediately if you notice any changes to your mouth.
90% of mouth cancer is linked to lifestyle factors such as smoking and chewing tobacco, high alcohol intake, the human papillomavirus (HPV), unhealthy diet and too much exposure to UV light
