TREATMENT FINDER

During your routine check-ups, we will perform a comprehensive mouth cancer screening, giving you a full picture of your oral health, and an awareness of your risk factors for mouth cancer

Introducing you to Mouth Cancer Screening

Nature of procedure: Check-up/diagnostic/to prevent any further spread of cancer.

Frequency: Attend every 6-12 months (carried out during your routine dental check-up).

Treatment Steps

Mouth cancer screening involves the following steps:

  1. Conversation about your oral and medical history, as well as lifestyle. This will help to gain a clear and ongoing picture of your risk factors for mouth cancer.
  2. Thorough examination of the lip area, gland area and neck.
  3. Thorough examination of your mouth’s soft tissues to check for lesions or changes to the colour of your soft tissues. Your dentist will also use their hands to gently feel around your mouth and neck.
  4. Should your dentist identify any inconclusive findings, they may refer you to a specialist for further investigations.

If you notice any longstanding ulcers, lesions, or lumps in your mouth (generally defined as 3 weeks or longer), please do not wait until your next check-up.

Life Benefits

  • Allows for the early identification of mouth cancer in many cases (when spotted early, mouth cancer is one of the most treatable cancers).
  • Peace of mind that your risk factors have been identified.
