At Skintique Beautiful Smiles, we are dedicated to your health and well-being. That’s why we offer comprehensive mouth cancer screening as part of our regular dental services in Leicester. Mouth cancer, though rare, can be life-threatening if left undetected. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment, and our expert team is here to help ensure you stay proactive about your health.
Mouth cancer screening is a simple, non-invasive procedure designed to detect the early signs of mouth cancer. During your routine dental checkup, we examine the soft tissues in your mouth—such as your gums, tongue, cheeks, and lips—to check for abnormalities. The goal is to identify signs of mouth cancer at an early stage when it is most treatable.
At Skintique Beautiful Smiles, we prioritize prevention and early detection. With regular screenings, we can help you catch potential issues before they become serious, ensuring your oral health remains in top condition.
Mouth cancer often presents with subtle symptoms that can be easily overlooked. It’s important to watch for the following signs and consult us for a screening if you experience any of them:
Unusual red or white patches inside the mouth, particularly on the gums, tongue, or inner cheeks.
Any lumps, bumps, or numbness around the soft tissues of your mouth or lips.
Persistent hoarseness or a sore throat that doesn’t resolve within a few days.
If you notice any of these symptoms, we encourage you to schedule a screening as soon as possible. Early detection of mouth cancer leads to better treatment outcomes.
Certain factors increase your risk of developing mouth cancer. Being aware of these can help you take steps to lower your risk:
Smoking or chewing tobacco greatly increases your risk.
Drinking excessive alcohol can contribute to mouth cancer risk.
A family history of mouth cancer can make you more susceptible.
Excessive sun exposure to your lips can increase the risk of cancer.
A weakened immune system may increase susceptibility to mouth cancer.
Certain strains of HPV are linked to mouth cancer.
If you have any of these risk factors, regular mouth cancer screenings become even more crucial.
For most people, a mouth cancer screening should be part of your regular dental checkups, ideally every six months.
However, if you have higher risk factors, such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, we may recommend more frequent screenings. Your dentist will assess your individual needs and provide personalized advice on how often you should be checked.
If we detect any abnormalities during your screening, we will take the necessary next steps, which may include:
We may recommend additional tests, such as a biopsy, to determine if the abnormality is cancerous
If required, we will refer you to a specialist for further evaluation and treatment options.
It’s important to remember that most abnormalities are not cancerous, but early detection is key to successful treatment. If mouth cancer is diagnosed, early detection improves the chances of effective treatment and recovery.
