This is the official UK Mouth Cancer Action Month campaign which is conducted with advice from and supported by the Department of Health and the British Dental Association.

The Facts

• More than 5,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the UK each year.
• Around 1,800 die from the disease annually in the UK – on average one death every 5 hours.
• The 5 year survival rate for sufferers of mouth cancer is 50%.
• About 70 per cent of mouth cancers are detected at a late stage, reducing chances of survival.
• Early detection and diagnosis improve survival chances to more than 90%.

Dentists are trained and in the best position to detect the earliest signs of abnormality in the mouth
