Mouth Cancer Action Month, observed every November, is dedicated to raising awareness about mouth cancer and promoting early detection. Organised by various health charities, this awareness month focuses on educating the public about the symptoms, risk factors, and importance of regular dental check-ups to catch the disease early. Mouth cancer, also known as oral cancer, affects the lips, tongue, cheeks, and throat, and can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly.

The month encourages individuals to be vigilant about their oral health, particularly those at higher risk due to smoking, alcohol consumption, or HPV infection. Mouth Cancer Action Month highlights the signs to look out for, such as persistent mouth ulcers, unexplained lumps, or changes in the mouth that do not heal. Through screenings, educational materials, and community events, the campaign seeks to save lives by promoting awareness and encouraging early intervention.

Healthcare professionals also play a crucial role during Mouth Cancer Action Month, providing information and encouraging patients to maintain regular dental visits. The campaign underscores that early detection significantly improves survival rates, and it promotes lifestyle changes that can reduce the risk of developing mouth cancer.
