November is Mouth Cancer Action Month and at Highfield Dental & Facial Clinic, we are raising awareness of the symptoms of mouth cancer and how people can check themselves.
Over the last year, 8,337 people in the UK were given the life-changing news that they have mouth cancer.
Some of the main symptoms of mouth cancer to look out for are:
At Highfield Dental & Facial Clinic, we check overall oral health during all dental examinations and would flag any concerns to patients if we felt that they needed to see a doctor to rule out mouth cancer.
The Oral Health Foundation has a great video on how to check your mouth for cancer at home. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, make an appointment with your dentist or doctor to get it checked by a professional as soon as possible.
Our team will be taking part in Blue Wednesday as part of Mouth Cancer Action Month and snapping a blue-lipped selfie. We’ll also be displaying the symptoms of mouth cancer in our reception area and sharing guidance on our social media channels.
Fill in the form and our friendly team will be in touch with you shortly.
