Frequently Asked Questions
Questions & Answers about the Practice
Why do I need to visit the dentist?
Decay may or may not cause discomfort;
even though it doesn’t hurt, the tooth is deteriorating.
Using higher magnification and powerful lighting, it is easier
to detect decay at an early stage to prevent excessive tooth
damage. When cavities are small, they are much easier and less
expensive to treat. Also, mouth cancer can often be spotted
during its early stages by your dentist.

preventive treatments which include
early detection of decay and gum disease, mouth cancer screening
and fitting mouth guards for sports.
What is 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. |
