Put mouth cancer awareness where it can make a difference this Mouth Cancer Action Month

By Oral Health Foundation | 2nd November 2026 | News

Mouth Cancer Action Month is the UK's biggest charity campaign for mouth cancer awareness.

Taking place throughout November, thousands of amazing people go out into their communities to raise awareness of mouth cancer and share the important message of being mouthaware.

Since starting their first event in the year 2000, the Oral Health Foundation has invested nearly £2 million on improving awareness and education around mouth cancer.

But there's more we can do.

Last year, around 10,000 people in the UK were given the life-changing news that they have mouth cancer.

These numbers continue to rise while the disease claims more lives than cervical and testicular cancer combined.

The more we know about mouth cancer, the better chance we have of beating it. This means knowing how to spot mouth cancer early and knowing where to go when we see something out of the ordinary. It also means reducing our risk by cutting down on the things that cause mouth cancer.

This is why they need your help.
