- An ulcer that doesn’t appear to be healing.
- Enlarged lymph nodes or lump in your neck.
- Persistent pain in your mouth.
- Pain and difficulty chewing and swallowing.
- Unexplained bleeding in your mouth.
- Poor jaw mobility.
- A sore throat that doesn’t appear to be resolving itself.
- Red or red and white patches across any part of the mouth, including the tongue.
- Persistent numbness of your lip or any other part of the mouth.
- Loose teeth or dentures.
- Difficulties with your speech – these include it becoming hoarse, slurred or quieter than normal.

We will always check for these signs during your routine dental examinations.
