Ankle okay now?
It`ll be over before you know it.
tis a strange old world
I know its something that no-one wants to think about but the dentist is on the look-out for anything suspicious like this so although I don't want to fill anyone with unnecessary fears there is more at stake than toothache.
@ squiggle that's horrible for your friend but is so common I hope she recovers after her treatment
People who both drink and smoke have a particularly high risk: they are more than 30 times more likely to develop mouth cancer than people who do not smoke or drink.
The condition is two to three times more common in men than women (possibly because more men misuse alcohol than women). Most cases develop in people aged 40 years or over, with a steep rise in cases in those aged 60-65.
Like most types of cancers, the outlook for mouth cancer depends to a large extent on how quickly the cancer is diagnosed and treatment begins.
If diagnosed at an early stage, the outlook for mouth cancer is generally moderate to good.And that is why getting regular dental checkups are a good idea as dentists will recognise the symptoms.
My friends hubby went along for his normal appointment ( last went June) and now he has to see a specialist as he has a furry tongue, which has caused his dentist alarm as it was not the case 6 months ago .
They are worried sick.
