BROMSGROVE Dental Clinic will be offering free mouth examinations to anybody in the local community throughout November.

The clinic, based on Highfield Road, is supporting Mouth Cancer Action Month and is raising awareness of the importance of regular check-ups in protecting against the life-threatening disease.

Nazia Alyas from the clinic said: “Mouth cancer does not have the public awareness that other forms of cancer does yet shockingly claims more lives every year than testicular and cervical cancer combined, and we need to change this.

“Through our initiative we want to spread local public awareness of mouth cancer, its causes, the signs and symptoms and the role your dentist can play in helping to catch the disease early enough to fight against it.

“Simply register with the clinic to receive your free examination which will last approximately 15 minute and checks the whole mouth including the cheeks, lips, tongue and gums. Enjoy our newly refurbished waiting room and help yourself to coffee tea or hot chocolate too.”
