Mouth sores, lumps, or patches that won't heal? Oral cancer is a growing concern in Kenya — and catching it early makes all the difference. Dr. Kamau is Othaya's point of contact for screening, diagnosis, and getting you to the right care, fast.
These don't always mean cancer — but they're worth getting checked, especially if they don't go away.
A mouth ulcer or sore that lasts more than 2–3 weeks.
Unusual patches on the gums, tongue, or inside the cheek.
In the cheek, neck, or mouth, especially if it's new.
In the mouth, lip, or face that doesn't go away.
Or difficulty moving the jaw or tongue normally.
With no clear dental cause.
A few reference photos from real screenings — a rough patch, an unusual growth, and a check-up using a screening light. Every mouth is different, so the only way to know for sure is to get checked.
Smoking or smokeless tobacco use.
Regular or heavy alcohol use.
Especially when combined with tobacco or alcohol.
Ongoing irritation and untreated infection.
A known risk factor for some oral cancers.
A specific risk factor for lip cancer.
Too many patients only come in once the signs are advanced and harder to treat. Dr. Kamau's approach is different: come in early, get screened properly, and if anything looks concerning, we run the right tests and give you a clear answer — not a guessing game. If further treatment is needed, we help connect you to the right specialists, so you're never left to navigate it alone.
If further treatment is needed, Kenya has real specialist centers equipped for oral and head & neck cancer care:
Nairobi — Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery unit with a dedicated head & neck tumor board.
Eldoret — Chandaria Cancer & Chronic Diseases Centre.
Nairobi — Dedicated oncology centre with early cancer imaging & diagnosis.

Shepherd Dental Services was founded on one idea: that good dental care should feel personal, affordable, and close to home. Our clinic sits right in the heart of Othaya town — no long trips to the city required.
Beyond everyday dental care, Dr. Kamau has made oral cancer awareness and early screening a personal focus — too many patients only come in once symptoms are advanced. Whether it's a routine check-up or something you're concerned about, we treat every patient the way we'd want our own family treated. That's what "Service to Humanity" means to us.
