FREE screening tests for mouth cancer will be available at a Market Weighton dental surgery this week as part of a national awareness campaign.

With the British Dental Health Foundation claiming the disease kills about 2,000 people in the UK each year, staff at Genix Healthcare in Southgate said they felt “obligated to join the campaign”.

The tests, as apart of National Mouth Cancer Action Month, will be available between 2pm and 4pm on Thursday.
