Abstract:
The dentist's chair presents an opportunity to pick up ear nose and throat lesions, by virtue of the close proximity of the anatomical areas. Urgent two-week wait referral can expedite assessment and management of head and neck malignancies, thereby improving the prognosis. In this paper, we attempt to highlight the ear, nose and throat (ENT) conditions that need a two week referral, as well as the benign head and neck lesions which can potentially be picked up in a dentist's chair.
