Mouth Cancer Screening in Iffley

Studies show that mouth cancer is on the increase and that early detection dramatically improves the chances of recovery.

1. A detailed analysis of your oral health history to determine any risk factors that you might have.
2. A thorough examination of the outside of your mouth, head and neck by observation and touch.
3. A thorough internal examination of your mouth, including the inside of your cheeks and under your tongue.
4. Any inconclusive findings will be referred to a specialist consultant.

It is recommended that you come in for regular dental check ups with your general dentist to allow for oral cancer screening. Your dentist will discuss the frequency of recall based on your risk. Because smoking is strongly linked with many forms of cancer and other dental problems, we always encourage our patients to quit smoking. An excellent source of information is the Mouth Cancer Foundation if you require any further information.
