The Oral Health Foundation wants dental, general practice and community pharmacy teams to get behind Mouth Cancer Action Month. The annual awareness campaign starts this Sunday and runs throughout November. Mouth cancer is now among the ten most common cancers in the UK, with more than 11,000 people diagnosed each year. In England, cases have increased by 119%.

Why it matters: Dental teams are being asked to play a part in raising awareness of mouth cancer, so patients may hear more about it at their next visit.

Key words: oral health, Mouth Cancer Action Month, Oral Health Foundation, annual awareness campaign, dental, general practice and community pharmacy teams, ten most common cancers in the UK
