Oral Cancer Screening
Oral Cancer Screening In Basingstoke
Studies show that mouth cancer is on the increase and that early detection dramatically improves the chances of recovery. Mouth cancers have a higher proportion of deaths per number of cases than breast cancer, cervical cancer or skin melanoma. The mortality rate is just over 50%, despite treatment, with about 1,700 deaths per year in the UK. This is all because of late detection. Visit your dentist if you notice any abnormal problems or you are not sure. Regular dental check-ups allow early detection of abnormalities in the mouth.
