Every November, dental practices across the UK join the Oral Health Foundation for Mouth Cancer Action Month.  The message is clear: know the signs, check your mouth regularly, and come and see us if something doesn’t seem right. In our opinion, mouth cancer still isn’t being talked about nearly as much as it should be, [...]

As summer holidays wind down and everyone settles back into school runs, work schedules and structured routines, autumn is actually one of the best times of year to take stock of your dental habits. The long, unstructured days of summer — with holidays, later nights, and treats on the go — can quietly knock oral [...]

Summer has a way of quietly working against your teeth.
