| MOUTH
CANCER |
Examination |
|
Mouth cancer is a malignant
growth which can occur in any part of the
mouth, including the tongue, lips and throat.
Mouth cancers have a higher proportion
of deaths per number of cases than breast
cancer, cervical cancer or skin melanoma.
The mortality rate is just over 50%, despite
treatment, with about 1,700 deaths per year
in the UK. This is because of late detection.

GUARDS |
 |
|
A mouth guard
(gum shield) is like a crash helmet for teeth, protecting
them from damage in physical sports. A mouth
guard made by your dentist is made specially to
fit your mouth. This is more protective than an
over-the-counter model as available in most sporting
stores. An incorrectly fitting mouth guard is inefficient,
hard to hold in place, and interferes with proper
breathing and speech. |
What are the advantages
of wearing a custom-made mouth guard?
Protects your teeth, tongue, cheeks and lips from
trauma. Lessens the risk of jaw fractures, and brain
concussion. However, trauma can still occur when
wearing a mouth guard which, if suspected, should
always be examined by your family dentist.
When should I get a mouth guard made for myself
or my child?
We recommend that your mouth guard is made before
embarking on any physical sport or pastime such
as Rugby, Football, Hockey, Skateboarding/Rollerblading,
Martial Arts/Self Defence, Gymnastics, Skiing, Lacrosse,
Squash, etc.
