White or red patches can be signs of pre-malignancy. Pre-malignant cells are abnormal, but they are not yet cancer. If left untreated, pre-malignancy can go on to develop into cancer. But if you get the condition treated, you can prevent a cancer from developing.
There is no official screening programme, but checking for mouth cancer should be part of your 6 monthly routine dental check up. Make sure it is done next time you go to the dentist – ask.
First of all there is no such things as Tooth Cancer. Sometimes there aren't any symptoms of oral cancer. If your doctor and dentist See's a suspicious lesson are marking of some sort in your mouth they will so a small biopsy (no pain at all) and then will go from there. The sooner you caught it the better. So go to the doc and find out.
