Why prevention is better than a cure.

The old saying couldn’t be truer when it comes to your oral health. Preventive dentistry focuses on good daily habits and regular visits to stop problems before they start. Even with excellent brushing and flossing, some areas are difficult to reach at home - that’s where your dentist and hygienist can help.

‍

Visiting every six months allows your dentist to check for early signs of gum disease, tooth decay and other oral health issues. Professional cleaning also removes plaque and bacteria from hard-to-reach areas, keeping your smile brighter and your gums healthier.

What happens during a dental check-up?

During your regular appointment, your dentist will:

‍

Examine your teeth and gums for signs of decay or gum disease
Screen for early signs of mouth cancer
Take X-rays if needed to monitor teeth and jaw health
Give you tailored advice on brushing, flossing and diet

‍

If your dentist notices any areas of concern, they’ll create a plan to treat them early - before they cause pain or require more complex work.

How can my dentist spot early signs of mouth cancer?

Your dentist could do more than just protect your smile - they could save your life. Mouth cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, but when detected early, it can be treated successfully.

‍

Your dentist will carefully examine your mouth, using specialist tools to check for any signs of discolouration or lesions. They’ll also gently feel the soft tissue inside your mouth and neck for unusual lumps or growths. This quick, painless screening is part of every routine check-up and is one of the best ways to detect mouth cancer early.

What are the symptoms of mouth cancer?

Mouth cancer can develop anywhere in the mouth - on the tongue, gums, lips or inside the cheeks. Symptoms to watch for include:

‍

Mouth ulcers that don’t heal or keep recurring
Lumps in the mouth or neck
Loose teeth not linked to other causes
Numbness or tingling in parts of the mouth
Red or white patches inside the mouth
Persistent pain or changes in speech

‍

Regular dental visits mean your dentist can spot anything unusual quickly, increasing the chances of successful treatment.
