Awareness
All appointments at Devonshire House include a free mouth cancer check. Whether it is talking about the risk factors, the early warning signs or the benefits of early detection, raising awareness can make a real difference for improving education and ultimately saving lives.

Mouth Cancer Action Month
Mouth Cancer Action Month is the charity campaign taking place every year in November which aims to raise awareness so that more people know how to spot mouth cancer early and make any changes that can lower their risk.
All of our appointments include a free mouth cancer check so if you are concerned about any changes in your mouth please make an appointment to see us.



Three Signs and Symptoms Not To Ignore

A Simple Mouth Cancer Check at Home
A mouth cancer check can be done at home and it takes less than one minute. It is a good idea to get into the habit of regularly checking yourself for the early signs of mouth cancer, especially in the time between dental visits. Take the time to perform a self check for mouth cancer every month.

Risk Factors
Mouth cancer does not discriminate. It really can affect anybody. However, it is strongly associated with the age and gender of a person. Mouth cancer is more likely to be found in men over 40. Lifestyle is also important, with around nine in every ten cases linked to risk factors like tobacco and alcohol.
This shows just how much of an influence our daily choices and habits can have on our overall health. But by amending them, making small steps towards healthier day-to-day choices, we can help cut the chances of developing mouth cancer.
