By spotting mouth cancer early, we have a much better chance of beating it.

During Mouth Cancer Action Month we are promoting the message ‘if in doubt, get checked out’. We encourage everybody to be mouthaware and pay close attention to what’s going on with their mouth.

Who is more likely to get mouth cancer?
It’s not always clear what causes mouth cancer.

You may be more likely to get mouth cancer if:

➡️ you smoke or chew to***co, betel nut or paan
➡️ you drink a lot of alcohol
➡️ you have leukoplakia
➡️ you’ve been exposed to a lot of sunlight or sunbeds, which can cause skin cancer affecting the lips
➡️ you’ve had cancer before
➡️ you have a weakened immune system, for example, you have HIV or AIDS, or take immunosuppressant medicine
➡️ Mouth cancer has also been linked to having changes in your genes and having some types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in your mouth.

How to lower your risk of mouth cancer

You cannot always prevent mouth cancer, but there are things you can do to lower your chance of getting it.

Do
✅ eat a healthy diet, including 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day
✅ exercise regularly
✅ try to cut down on alcohol and avoid drinking more than 14 units a week
✅ try to quit smoking, va**ng, chewing to***co, betel nut or paan

A Study led by the University of Leeds has highlighted the oral health challenges that autistic children face. The team have collaborated with autistic children, their families and early years professionals to co-design an 'Autism Toothcare' support package with autistic-specific advice on how to improve oral health habits.

www.autismtoothcare.com

The website features videos, downloadable resources and a forum for parents to share their experiences and advice. Its aim is to provide parents with practical, tailored solutions that focus on toothbrushing, going to the dentist and eating and drinking.

One in four autistic children have tooth decay by the age of five. Whilst this number is similar to the wider childhood population, autistic children are less likely to visit the dentist and twice as likely to need dental treatment under general anaesthetic.

Sensory differences can make toothbrushing painful, dental visits can also be overwhelming, with bright lights, unfamiliar smells, strange tastes, and unexpected sounds or touch. Some autistic people experience social communication differences, making it hard for them to express if they are in dental pain. In addition, repetitive behaviours or strong preferences may lead to limited diets, often high in sugar, which can increase the risk of tooth decay.

The website offers tips and advice on brushing teeth, visiting the dentist, and healthy eating and drinking for families of autistic children. It offers information about different toothbrush types, toothpaste options, brushing tips, routines, sensory preparation, and ways to support your child during brushing.

There are helpful guides to reducing sugary foods and drinks, introducing tooth-friendly options, mealtime tips, exploring food outside meals, and preparing food and drinks. Additional tips can be found about managing dental visits, preparing for the appointment, communicating during the visit, and supporting your child afterwards.

At the Poplars we will aim to support you in whatever way we can, so if you have any concerns or questions regarding any of the available resources please don't hesitate to contact the practice on 01132 564161

Well done to our ‘National Smile Month’ Competition Winner Evie!

We loved the extra details but especially her advice! Not rinsing after brushing leaves all the foamy goodness of toothpaste on your teeth 🫧

Rinsing with water or mouthwash washes away the fluoride from the toothpaste, reducing its effectiveness in preventing tooth decay. We advise using mouth wash after snacks, lunch or when you walk in from school or work…. This gives your teeth extra fluoride to keep them strong and healthy 🙂
