Looking after our community and providing excellent care

November is Mouth Cancer Action Month

This is Mouth Cancer Action Month. The focus of the campaign is to remind us of the importance of being mouthaware, and to look out for any signs and symptoms of mouth cancer. Spotting any changes in your mouth and getting these checked with your doctor or dentist as early as possible is crucial in treating mouth cancer.

Over 90% of mouth cancers in the UK are linked to lifestyle but mouth cancer can affect anyone so be mouthaware and look out for any signs and symptoms.
