When you attend Grey Street Dental Surgery for a dental examination, it's not only your teeth that are inspected.
The dentists and dental therapists are responsible for the entire oral cavity.
The boundaries of this region include the lips, inner cheeks, tongue (upper and lower surfaces), floor of the mouth (and roof), and lastly but not least the back of the throat, about as far as you can see to the tonsillar region!
So, if you feel Paul, Adam, Venus, Bianca or Sunil pulling at your tongue, asking you to say "ah" or poking at the glands beneath your jaw... its all for a reason. As your dental health professionals, you can be sure we are working with you to help with early detection of oral cancer. Please click on this link, read the oral cancer supplement and don't hesitate to ask us, should you be concerned regarding any of this information.
