Oral Cancer Screening at The Dental Suite Swansea

Early detection saves lives. At The Dental Suite Swansea, we’re committed to safeguarding your oral and overall health with comprehensive dental check-ups, including screening for oral cancer. Oral cancer is highly treatable when detected early, and regular check-ups are a simple yet crucial step in ensuring your peace of mind.

What Is Oral Cancer Screening?

Oral cancer screening is a quick, painless examination performed as part of your routine dental check-up. It helps identify early signs of abnormalities in your mouth, tongue, gums, and throat. Our highly trained dental professionals use advanced techniques to assess your oral tissues and detect any suspicious lesions or changes.

Why Is Screening Important?

Oral cancer can develop without obvious symptoms, making regular dental check-ups essential. Risk factors include:

  • Smoking and Tobacco Use
  • Excessive Alcohol Consumption
  • HPV Infection
  • Prolonged Sun Exposure (linked to lip cancers)
  • Family History of Cancer

Early signs may include:

  • Persistent sores or ulcers
  • Unexplained lumps or swelling
  • Red or white patches in the mouth
  • Difficulty swallowing or speaking

Regular check-ups help catch these issues early, even before symptoms appear.
