November is Mouth Cancer Action Month

November is Mouth Cancer Action Month

We’re joining the national effort to raise awareness about mouth cancer – its signs, risks, and the importance of early detection. Mouth cancer is far easier to treat when caught early, which is why we check for symptoms at every routine visit.

Know the warning signs – don’t ignore:

  • A mouth ulcer that hasn’t healed after 3 weeks
  • Red or white patches in the mouth
  • Unexplained lumps in the neck or mouth
  • Difficulty swallowing or a persistent sore throat

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instinct and get it checked. Early action could save your life.
