- Oral Cancer Screening
Changes are not always painful or easy to notice, so regular dental examinations play an important role in identifying anything unusual. At Castle Bromwich Dental Care, an oral cancer check forms part of your routine dental examination.
Your dentist will carefully examine areas including:
The examination is straightforward and normally takes only a few minutes.
We’d love to hear from you! If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, please get in touch.
Many changes in the mouth are harmless, but anything unusual should be assessed. Identifying a concerning area early allows further investigation to be arranged promptly.
An oral cancer examination cannot diagnose cancer by itself. If your dentist finds something that requires further assessment, they may monitor the area or refer you to an appropriate specialist.
Contact a dentist or doctor if you notice:
These symptoms do not necessarily mean that you have mouth cancer, but they should not be ignored.
Getting your dream smile is easier than you think.

No. The examination is visual and involves gently checking the tissues inside your mouth and around your jaw and neck.
Your dentist will recommend how often you should attend based on your oral health and individual risk factors.
You should not wait until your next routine appointment if you notice a concerning change.
Factors that can increase the risk of mouth cancer include:
Mouth cancer can also occur in people without these risk factors.
Your dentist will explain what they have seen and may arrange a review or refer you to a hospital specialist.
A referral does not mean that you have cancer. It allows the area to be examined properly and further tests to be arranged if required.

I’m extremely happy with my teeth bonding and my new smile! From start to finish, I felt very comfortable and well looked after. The result looks really natural and has made a huge difference to my smile and confidence.
Dr Zunezo Sadiq was professional, patient and really listened to what I wanted. I’m genuinely very pleased with the final result and would definitely recommend the practice to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment.
Thank you so much for giving me a smile I’m really happy with! 😊
Great dentist always pleasant and precise with the work and very good service have used this Dentist since 1982 43 years with the Same dentist it’s now run very effectively efficiently with a great service been seen the current Dentist At 6/7 years Z Alam and R Alam Dentists 5 stars and highley recommend.
I have had a phobia of dentists for donkeys years, hence the problems I'm having now and have only been a patient here for months rather than years, but I would not go anywhere else. Dr. Zulfikar Alam is a wonderful dentist - he is patient, explains everything, reduces my anxiety and is excellent at his job. I would like to thank him for his patience and perseverance this week, after a very difficult extraction! Thank you so much and kind regards.
My Dental Practice. Reliable good doctors and very efficient.
Been registered with this dentist for 15+ years and I find the reception staff polite and the dentists professional and keep you at ease for any kind of treatment you may need. Highly recommend
