Oral Cancer Action Month: What Should Be Checked Regularly

 

Did you know that around 18 people everyday are diagnosed with mouth cancer and one in three cases of mouth cancer are a result of excessive alcohol use?

Mouth cancer action month runs from 1-30th November. Have a look at the video from Dr Rashid at Time Dental in Farnham, Surrey as he talks about the Trust Check list to see what should be checked regularly to ensure early detection of mouth cancer.

To spot mouth cancer early your dentist can:
1. Ask about your diet, smoking and drinking habits
2. Examine your lips, cheeks, tongue and palette
3. Take photos
4. Take X-rays
5. Update notes with changes in your general health
