Wednesday 17th September is Mouth Cancer Awareness Day.
Today marks the 17th annual Mouth Cancer Awareness Day, and we at DDUH are proud to stand alongside patients, clinicians, and advocates in recognising the progress made in supporting those affected by mouth, head and neck cancers (MHN).

Over the past seventeen years, the evolution of this patient group has been remarkable. DDUH, in collaboration with the MHN Cancer Awareness Ireland Group, has played a pivotal role in advancing awareness, education, and care pathways for MHNC patients.

One of our proudest achievements remains the successful incorporation of dental professionals and oral healthcare into the National Cancer Strategy 2016–2026—an essential step in ensuring holistic, multidisciplinary cancer care.

There is a head and neck cancer information stand in place at the DDUH foyer provided by our undergraduate dental hygiene students today Wednesday 17th September. We encourage staff and members of the public to visit the stand.

This evening, the Irish Dental Association (IDA) will host an online webinar featuring Professor Mike Lewis, Emeritus Professor of Oral Medicine and member of the Mouth Cancer Foundation.

His talk, “Mouth Cancer – Early Detection Saves Lives” will highlight the critical importance of timely diagnosis and intervention.

We encourage all dental professionals, students, and members of the public to engage with today’s events and continue to champion awareness. Together, we can make a lasting impact.

On Saturday, April 26, 2025, many of Trinity College Dublin's Dental Science students had the great privilege to participate in Teddy Bear Hospital (TBH). TBH is an annual, full-day event coordinated and hosted by Trinity College Dublin's Paediatric Society, whereby young school children are able to interact with students studying various health science professions, such as medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, and dentistry.

TBH provides children with a safe space to learn about proper oral hygiene techniques and other responsibilities of dentists, and by cultivating an enriching environment full of educational diagrams, colouring sheets, toothbrushes, toy sets of teeth, a giant dinosaur with braces, and of course friendly smiles, aims to lessen fear of dentists for children in the future.

A special thanks to TCD's Dental Science Students who participated and brought excitement, smiles, and education to all the children who attended and ensured that the dental table was immensely memorable, including: Michelle De Deyn, Amesha Muruletharan, Rachel Tang, Olivia Ngo, Zoe Quinlan, Etaine Leydon, Iman Khan, Alisa Vipulakom, Stella Sta Maria, Grace Feighan, Mohammed Abdo, and Rita Bishara.
