A MALTON dentist is supporting Mouth Cancer Action month by running two free mouth cancer screening clinics.

The Dental Health Practice in Princess Road will run the clinics on Friday, November 16, and November 30, from 2pm to 4pm each day.

The clinics - which will feature a five-minute examination - are mainly aimed at those who have not seen a dentist for a prolonged time or have concerns they may have a suspicious area in their mouth.

Last year, 2,722 Britons lost their life to mouth cancer.

To be seen at the practice for this, phone 01653 697615.
