Mouth Cancer Action Month has arrived this November – highlighting the risks, symptoms and causes of the disease.

A recent survey by the Oral Health Foundation found that as few as 40% of us are able to identify the major symptoms related to mouth cancer, which include non-healing mouth ulcers, red or white patches in the mouth and unusual lumps and swellings.

Shockingly, cancer cases have increased by 39% in the UK in the last decade alone, so it is even more important that awareness is raised about the disease.

If you are experiencing any symptoms, always get checked by your dentist or doctor as soon as possible.
