With a 34% rise in mouth cancer cases in the UK, a dentist has shared a list of symptoms to look out for - including a common mouth ulcer that could be a sign of the disease

A dentist has highlighted a common symptom that could be a sign of mouth cancer - ulcers. November is Mouth Cancer Action Month, an initiative led by the Oral Health Foundation to raise awareness of mouth cancer and stress the importance of being "mouth aware".

Symptoms to watch out for are wide ranging, with the common ailment of ulcers being one of them - especially one that is persistent.Whitley continued: "Generally, mouth cancer can affect anyone, but alcohol and tobacco use, including chewing tobacco, do increase the chances of developing oral cancer.

Dr Whitley added: "There is a chance that they may have a normal explanation, but if you feel concerned or you notice anything that feels out of the ordinary for you, then you should visit your local dentist for a check-up so that they can offer you a professional evaluation." Dentists across social media have been highlighting the significance of not ignoring oral health issues. On TikTok, Anna Peterson urged followers to get ulcers checked if they last more than a fortnight.
