October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month💗
At Dental Care Perth, we believe that looking after your health goes far beyond your smile.
This October, we're encouraging everyone to get to know what's normal for their breasts, attend routine screening when invited and speak to their GP about any unusual changes. Early detection can make a real difference.
But there's another important conversation we'd like to have. The connection between cancer treatment and oral health.🦷
Cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, can sometimes cause changes to the mouth, such as dryness, ulcers, soreness, altered taste and increased susceptibility to infections.
If you or someone you love is preparing to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy, please let your dentist know and arrange an oral health assessment before treatment, where possible.
We can help identify existing dental concerns, offer preventative advice and develop a personalised plan to help protect your oral health throughout treatment.
Already receiving treatment? It's not too late to speak to us. We can work alongside your oncology team to ensure your dental care is appropriate and safe.
At Dental Care Perth, we're here to support you through every stage of your oral health journey, including the difficult ones. 💗
