Cancer can occur in any part of the mouth, on the tongue, lips and in the throat. Sadly, mouth cancer has a very high mortality rate. This is due to late detection. The positive news is that a “precancer” will sometimes form a long time before cancer develops, and if detected early, it can be treated rapidly with an excellent chance of prevention or cure. Some of the early symptoms of mouth cancer include: An ulcer or a sore throat that has persisted longer than three weeks; A white or red patch on the soft tissue, gums, tongue or lining in the mouth; A chronic sore throat or hoarse voice that persists for longer than six weeks; Difficulty in swallowing or a constant feeling that something is caught in the throat; A neck swelling that persists longer than three weeks; Numbness of the tongue or other area of the mouth.

It is caused by sticky plaque and hard deposits of tartar. It happens when teeth and gums are not kept clean enough. Without regular cleaning the gums will come away from the tooth creating pockets around the teeth where food and plaque can collect. Pockets are difficult to keep clean and gum disease will get worse if no treatment is not carried out. The next stage of the disease will involve loosing the bone that supports the teeth and the teeth will become loose until they will have to be taken out. Severe gum disease can be an inherited factor or an indicator of problems with general health.
Dental veneers are bonded to the top of your teeth, but they can be made to extend further if needed. Think of veneer teeth like fake nails, extending the appearance – and possibly the colour – of your tooth, but also potentially providing additional functionality. If you choose to do this however, bear in mind that porcelain veneers can also wear down or become damaged just like real teeth. If you’re seeking veneers for this, make sure you speak to our dental team in Hampstead about getting a mouth guard following the procedure.
