November is Mouth Cancer Awareness Month 🦷 💙

Did you know early detection of mouth cancer can save lives? The Harrogate NHS Oral Health Team is raising awareness this month to help you spot the signs and take action early.

Look out for:

Sores or ulcers in the mouth that don’t heal within 3 weeks

Unexplained lumps in your mouth, neck, or jaw

Red or white patches in your mouth

Persistent pain or difficulty swallowing

Reduce your risk:

Don’t smoke and limit alcohol

Maintain good oral hygiene

Eat a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables

Attend regular dental check-ups

If you notice any of these signs, visit your dentist promptly. Early detection saves lives.
