We all know that early diagnosis is important in the treatment of serious medical conditions.

It is vital to make regular visits to your dentist, so that we can give you a thorough examination and identify any problems requiring further treatment. For conditions which we do not treat at the practice we refer our patients to the relevant consultant, so that their problems can be dealt with by the best qualified professionals.

Mouth cancer is a very serious condition which can be fatal if untreated.  If mouth cancer is diagnosed at an early stage the chances of complete recovery are very good indeed. Your dentist will help identify any signs or symptoms of this condition and, if necessary, refer you to a consultant.

If you notice any unusual lumps, red patches, or painless ulcers which do not heal within 3 weeks, let us know and we will give you an examination and advise you on any further treatment you may need.

The importance of regular examinations cannot be stressed enough. Early diagnosis is so important. If you have any concerns at all about your oral health, give us a call.
