Knowing the signs of mouth and throat cancers could save your life!

Knowing the signs of mouth and throat cancers could save your life. See your dentist or GP if you notice any changes in your mouth or throat that don’t get better within three weeks.

 Early detection transforms the chances of beating mouth and throat cancers from 50 to 90 per cent. A mouth ulcer that does not heal, red or white patches in the mouth, unusual lumps or swelling in your mouth or neck, difficulty swallowing or chewing and persistent throat or ear pain are all potential signs of mouth or throat cancer.
