Regular screening for mouth cancer can help identify any potential problems as early as possible.

At Beaumont Dental, your dentist will routinely carry out a thorough examination of your mouth to check for any signs of disease including mouth cancer.

What are the risk factors for mouth cancer?

Smoking and alcohol consumption are the primary causes of mouth cancer in the UK. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is also a common risk factor.

What are the common symptoms of mouth cancer?

Some of the common signs of mouth cancer include:

  • White or red patches around the inside of your mouth.
  • A lump or lumps in your neck.
  • Difficulty swallowing.
  • Difficulty speaking.
  • Persistent sore throat.
  • An ulcer or sore that bleeds, or does not heal within 2 weeks.
  • General pain or bleeding in the mouth.

Many of these symptoms can be linked to other issues and do not necessarily indicate cancer. A thorough clinical examination will help determine whether or not your symptoms require further investigation.

What does mouth cancer screening involve?

Screening for mouth cancer will involve a thorough examination of all areas of the mouth, including palate, tongue, lips and throat. Your dentist will also inspect your neck and face.
