Referred to specialist

My dentist is concerned by some patches in my mouth, he has referred me urgently. Bit worried as I did not go dentist for many years and d9nt know how long it has been there. 

  • Hi Jones46,

    It's good that your dentist has referred you on. This is standard procedeure when screening for cancer and 9 out of 10 people who are referred do not get diagnosed with cancer. I can understand it can be  difficult, but try not to worry too much. You can read about the referral process here.

    I hope it's all ok,
