As with most cancers, early detection is imperative when it comes to mouth cancer.

We’re proud to perform mouth cancer screenings here at Hatfield Dental Care. If we find anything to cause concern, we will refer you to a specialist.

What is a mouth cancer screening?

A mouth cancer screening is a very simple treatment that can help us detect early signs of mouth cancer. During the treatment, we will check your mouth for red and white patches and sores that could potentially indicate mouth cancer. We will use gloved hands to check for lumps, swelling and other abnormalities.

Further examinations can include using a screening dye, which you will use to rinse out your mouth before the screening. Abnormal cells will then pick up the colour of the dye, turning blue after the dye has been rinsed out.

A screening light can also be used in a similar way to the dye. Under this light, healthy tissue appears dark, while abnormal cells appear white. Depending on the results of your screening, we may recommend a biopsy or a follow-up appointment.
