An estimated 60,000 people in
the UK will be diagnosed with mouth cancer in the
next decade.
Risks to look out for include mouth ulcers that do
not heal within three weeks, red and white patches and lumps or swellings in
the mouth.
All Appledore patients have a full
examination at their annual dental check ups.
- As well as checking your teeth for signs of tooth decay, our clinicians also look at the health of your gums and check your jaw joints
- Additionally, at no extra cost, adult patients at Appledore are all checked with the Velsope (oral cancer screening technology), to assist in the prevention of this disfiguring form of cancer
- Does your dentist offer this free service? If not, why not?
