Oral cancer screening

Life-saving checks as standard

We routinely screen you for oral cancer during your regular check-ups. This is to help detect this increasingly prevalent disease at an early stage, when it is much more treatable.

During an examination, we keep an eye out for the following:

  • Sore spots that are slow to heal
  • Red or white patches
  • Lumps
  • Loose teeth
  • Unexpected swelling

We recommend screening at least once a year but if you do spot anything unusual between appointments, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
