Studies suggest that in the previous ten years, the prevalence of oral cancer has increased by 25%, with smoking and alcohol consumption being the main causes.
One of the tumours that is most frequently found is oral cancer. According to studies, 90% of those who receive therapy are cured with early discovery, however success rates are significantly lower when treatment is sought later. Early detection enables us to take prompt action and provide a variety of treatment choices, including less intrusive measures.
Please inform us immediately if you encounter any of the following:
- Your mouth is bleeding mysteriously
- swallowing or moving your tongue with difficulty
- apparition of white or red spots on your lips, gums, or mouth
- An earache
- alteration in the way your jaws or teeth fit together
Your dentist at Smile Hub Dental Clinic will examine your mouth for any anomalies using the most recent VELscope Oral Assessment System. The VELscope will highlight any irregularities using a fluorescent light so that your dentist can recommend the appropriate course of action.
You might be advised to adjust your diet once the oral cancer has been controlled to lessen the chance of a relapse.
