Comprehensive Oral Cancer Screening in Basingstoke
Vital early-detection soft tissue screening of the mouth, tongue, throat, and lymph nodes included in routine checks.
About Your Treatment
Early detection of oral cancer saves lives. Mouth cancer rates have risen in the UK, making regular professional screenings an essential component of preventive healthcare.
Our dentists perform thorough soft-tissue checks at every routine check-up, examining your tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, palate, and neck for any suspicious lumps, red/white patches, or ulcerations.

We guide you through a gentle, structured experience designed for maximum comfort and clinical precision.
1. Visual Soft Tissue Inspection
Checking lips, cheeks, palate, tonsils, and underneath the tongue.
2. Lymph Node Palpation
Gently feeling neck and jawline lymph nodes for any swelling or firmness.
3. Advice & Referral
Reviewing risk factors (smoking, alcohol, HPV) and arranging fast-track review if necessary.
