Early detection is key with Head and Neck Cancer.

Over 5,000 Australians will be diagnosed with head and neck cancer this year and dental professionals can play a pivotal role in helping keep them alive.

World Head and Neck Cancer Day held on 27 July each year raises awareness of head and neck cancer and helps spread the message that early detection is key in the early diagnosis of oral cancer. Oral health care professionals play a crucial role in the early diagnosis of patients and in providing education and support to people being treated, especially if radiation therapy is required.

More than 17,000 people are living with head and neck cancer in Australia, which includes cancers of the tongue, gums, mouth, salivary glands, tonsils, pharynx, nasal cavity and larynx.

Beyond Five – is a national not-for-profit organisation offering a comprehensive library of free head and neck cancer resources, including fact sheets, animations and videos, as well as information on support services available for people affected by head and neck cancer.

Are you aware that having bleeding gums is not normal. Red swollen bleeding gums are an early sign of gum disease.
If this condition (gingivitis) is not treated early, it risks progressing to a more serious condition called periodontal disease - which can result in eventual tooth loss.
Treatment undertaken in the early stages can halt the progression of the disease and early intervention can reduce the financial burden as well.
Please call us for a consultation to address any of your concerns.

On the 26th May 2017 Professor Yeung presented a lecture on Peri-Implantitis (infection around dental implants) to a group of general dentists attending a training course on "Periodontics in General Practice (Part 1)." The lecture was very informative and was well received.

OUR PRACTICE MISSION IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH EXPERT PERIODONTAL SERVICES FOR ADVANCED PERIODONTAL CARE

Dental Tourism – Have you had dental work done overseas that you are unhappy with?
The pitfalls of having dental treatment done while holidaying overseas are many. The most concerning is the lack of care provided once the treatment has been completed and you are back home. There is no warranty on any of the work (how can there be), and most patients we see have spent money on work that is of poor quality and actually causes other problems in the mouth.
Unfortunately, these patients who showed up at our office were usually in pain, angry and financially worse off than before their trip overseas. Furthermore, the remedial work required is usually very demanding, time consuming and can only achieve a compromised result. If you are considering such a trip, think carefully. If you have already made the journey and is having problems with the result, please come in for an assessment and advice. We are experienced in remediating unsatisfactory dental work.

What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease (or commonly known as gum disease) is an inflammatory disease of the support structures of teeth (the periodontium). It usually starts with a non-painful condition of bleeding/inflamed gums (gingivitis), and can progress to a destructive disease where the periodontium is damaged or destroyed. The common symptoms include red and bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth and moving teeth (shifting position). Advanced Periodontal Disease can often lead to tooth loss. Successful treatment is dependant on early detection and intervention and to a commitment to self and professional-oral hygiene care.
