MOUTH CANCER AWARENESS
In the United States, mouth cancer is the sixth most common type of cancer, although it's much less common in the UK. It's also one of the deadliest cancers, with a five-year survival rate of only 50 percent. That's why it's so important to be aware of the symptoms of mouth cancer, and to see a doctor if you experience any of them.
It can occur anywhere in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, and roof of the mouth.
Causes Of Mouth Cancer
There are many different causes of mouth cancer, and it can be difficult to know if you're at risk. But if you are a smoker or a heavy drinker then you may be more at risk. Cancers of the lip are more commonly associated with UV exposure. Other risk factors include human papillomavirus (HPV), epstein-barr virus (EBV), family history of mouth cancers, and poor oral hygiene and gum disease.
Symptoms of Mouth Cancer
Some common symptoms include:
- Painful mouth ulcers that don't heal within a few weeks
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Unexplained lumps in your mouth or neck that won't go away
- White or red patches on your tongue or inside your mouth.
- Loose teeth or sockets that don't heal after extractions
- Unexplained, persistent numbness or odd feeling on your lips or tongue
If you have any of these symptoms, please see a doctor right away! Early diagnosis is key in beating mouth cancer.
How to Check for Mouth Cancer
1. CHECK THE FLOOR OF YOUR MOUTH:
Feel for lumps, swellings or ulcers along the floor of your mouth and underside of your tongue by gently pressing with your finger.
2. CHECK THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH
Tilt your head back and look in your mouth for changes in colour or ulcers, and use your finger to check for changes in texture.
If you notice anything unusual then make a note of it. If you've recently had a sore throat or cold, ulcers or swollen glands, or bitten or scolded your mouth then these should heal within 3 weeks. If you have any concerns then visit your dentist or doctor for advice.
It is recommended that anyone over the age of 16 should have a professional examination by a dentist every year.
Mouth cancer is a serious disease that often goes undetected until it has progressed to a later stage. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the risks, symptoms and how to check for mouth cancer. By being proactive about your health, you can help reduce your risk of developing this deadly disease. If you have any concerns, please see your doctor right away. Early detection is key in treating mouth cancer successfully.
It is so important we raise awareness, so share this with your friends and family, and make sure they are checking themselves for any symptoms.

from 776 reviewsThis toothpaste is wonderful. I've tried natural toothpastes in the past which have tasted awful and I've not felt that my teeth, or mouth were clean and fresh enough.
You need a tiny bit of this paste so it will last a long time and it tastes fresh and leaves the mouth tingly clean!
I absolutely love it and highly recommend you try it. 👍😊
Where has this tooth paste been all my life?! I love everything about it. The fresh natural taste, how clean my teeth feel including reduction in plaque buildup and the packaging. It's all win win win!
I purchased the bundle after reading all about it.. Initially I tried it & thought I had been sucked in to good marketing, put it in the cupboard and told myself not to be so gullible. I kept receiving emails for me to review the product and how important honest reviews were. This made me think they do genuinely believe in this toothpaste etc and I should give it a chance. How glad I did, after 7 days my teeth felt super clean, whiter, less sensitive but most of all my whole mouth felt calmer. I now truly recommend this product and definitely give it at least a week and trust the process,
To be honest not used this as much as I should be , it's a slow process, but will endeavour, does leave your mouth feeling fresh
Will continue with my new found find
Gums don't hurt/ache as much as they did
Teeth feel clean , doesn't sud up as much but I prefer that , never did like a mouthful of suds you get with normal toothpaste
Love the taste of this paste and it seems to really get the mouth tingly clean. I also got the mouthwash and that's also very FRESH. Thanks for not having flouride, which so many 'alternative' toothpastes seem to include.
Nice flavour and not too strong
I have used the mouthwash for 2 weeks now and am really enjoying the fresh and minty sensation. I love the ingredients and it just makes my whole mouth feel extra clean. I will definitely order more as the bottle will probably only last for another week or so.
First time purchasing this one. so far i am happy with it.
Absolutely outstanding tbh no more pain it really disappears after 4 day’s delighted
Love this peppermint and wintergreen.. tastes great and works!! Love it Thank you 😊
