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.

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.
