oral cancer
Dentists have an important role to play in detecting oral health problems early and at Arden House, we take this role very seriously.
Most people who come to see us quite rightly assume that we will check the health of their teeth and gums at our consultation. What many people won’t know is that we also check for the early signs and symptoms of mouth cancer.
Our dentist Ian, does this for every adult (irrespective of age or lifestyle) and for the vast majority of people there is never anything to report.
To help us check this aspect of people’s health, Ian has invested in the latest screening system called a Velscope. It uses a harmless fluorescent light to detect tissue changes that might not be visible to the naked eye.
We can pick up any change earlier and as with all things, the earlier we spot something, the easier it is to treat
If we think that you would benefit from a more specialist examination then we can quickly refer you to Cheltenham hospital.
Research shows that oral cancer is one of the top concerns when it comes to dental health but it’s rarely talked about.
Don’t sit at home and worry – call us today to make an appointment to see Ian.
