Hello and thanks for posting

I think it's perfectly reasonable for your husband to check with the dentist and ask why a standard referral was made and if he needs an urgent referral as oral cancer was mentioned as a possibility.

Your husband can also speak to his GP about this. They can sometimes help speed up the referral process if they think it's necessary.

I hope you both know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
