This November, as we observe Mouth Cancer Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to shed light on the critical role of early oral cancer detection. In the UK alone, more than 8,800 people are diagnosed with mouth cancer each year, and tragically, over 3,000 die from the disease, often due to late-stage diagnosis. Early detection through routine dental check-ups, like those we offer at Londent Oral Care, greatly improves outcomes, as cancers identified in their initial stages are much easier to treat.
At Londent Oral Care, our team includes a thorough oral cancer screening as part of every routine check-up, examining for early signs like unexplained sores, lumps, or tissue changes. Since these early signs are often painless and easily overlooked, our screenings can be a critical step in catching issues before they progress.
While some factors are unavoidable, there are ways to lower your risk:
This November, join us in raising awareness by prioritizing your health. Schedule an oral cancer screening at Londent Oral Care, and let’s work together to promote early detection and proactive care.

I enquired about a chipped tooth issue and was seen within 24 hours of making the enquiry. Treatment options were clearly explained and discussed, in what is a very professional setting just off Shad Thames.

After years of not going to the dentist, I was dreading my visit. Very welcoming practice. Dr Li kept me informed of my treatment plan and explained clearly what was needed and why. Very reassuring and professional. I've never had to wait for my appointments as well, which is very appreciated on a tight schedule.
I visited Londent and had an initial consultation with Dr Panayiotis Kaimakamis (Periodontist). What an absolute dream he was from start to finish. I was quite anxious regarding some rather complex periodontal surgery I needed ASAP and his customer care, subject matter expertise and surgical skills in my humble opinion remain unmatched. I recommend both this clinic and Dr Pano...
