When you visit us for a routine checkup, at certain intervals we also screen your mouth for signs of oral cancer which can be picked up by your dentist. Do you know what the top risk factors are for oral cancer?

👉 Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is an STD with a risk of cancer found at the back of the tongue or in and around the tonsils. These can occur in nonsmokers and tends to happen in younger people.

👉 Men are more likely to be diagnosed with oral cancer than women

👉 Apart from HPV-oral cancer which occurs in younger patients, typically oral cancer appears in those over 55 years of age

👉 Heavy drinkers have a higher risk of oral cancer

👉 And of course, one of the leading causes is to***co use in any form.

Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and screenings but most importantly, adapt your lifestyle to help reduce your risks!

Should you rinse with water after brushing? Although most do it, it’s actually counter-productive! The fluoride and active ingredients in toothpaste need to sit on your teeth in order for it to be effective. So instead of rinsing with water, just spit out the excess toothpaste and use water to wipe the top of your mouth and you’re good to go!

Saliva plays an important role in the health of your mouth and a big part of how saliva can do this is by having a balanced PH level, but how do we keep it balanced? ⚖️

Start with a healthy diet, limiting sugar is always helpful as well as ensuring a balanced diet.

Reduce your alcohol and caffeine intake as best as you can.

Seeds and beans are great alkaline foods, so bring those into your diet.

A low PH level means a higher level of acidity in your mouth and this has a negative effect on your teeth and can cause erosion of the tooth enamel and more - so there is a big benefit to ensuring a balanced PH level in your mouth.
