They will work with you to ensure teeth and gums are kept healthy and fresh through a mixture of treatment at ther practice and advice and guidance on how to look after your teeth and gums at home.
Mouth Cancer Action Month
8 November 2017Categories: Oral Cancer
Mouth Cancer Action Month is a charity campaign which aims to raise awareness of mouth cancer and make a difference by saving thousands of lives through early detection and prevention.
Throughout November the aim is to get more mouth cancers diagnosed at an early stage by increasing education of the risk factors and signs and symptoms while encouraging everybody to discuss them with their dentist. At Hampsteads, we use the VelScope for early detection of oral cancer. Early detection can help save lives.
In the UK, more than 7,000 people were diagnosed with mouth cancer last year. The disease has grown by a third in the last decade and remains one of very few cancers which are predicted to increase further in the coming years… that’s why Mouth Cancer Action Month is so important.
