The rise and fall of Oral Cancer in London SE1

12 / 03 / 2012

Many professional dentists in London SE1 would attribute the problem of oral cancer to lifestyle and diet- smoking, drinking and fast foods. But to be fair, there are those walking among us that do these things all of their lives without an issue at all, which rather suggests that although it is wise to limit these excesses in life, no-one really can pinpoint the reasons behind the disease- but there is no mistaking the signs of it. Everyone knows when something is going wrong in there mouth; it can range from repetitive sores, sore throats, recurring lumps to ear and jaw aches, but if there is anything wrong at all, the best remedy is to get a diagnosis done as soon as possible. You will have some blood tests and an analysis of skin tissue done to find out if there is a problem and this will be sent off for testing. If the worst case scenario comes back and you show signs of the disease, you will then have to have immediate treatment. The thing about this disease is that although it remains prevalent in society, which rather comes back to the lifestyle issues, the successes in the treatment have also soared. It is never an easy fight to go through and one that you need to embrace all of the support you can get, but it isn’t the end of the world, as the stigma of cancer has started to fade and with the right attitude, oral cancer is beatable.
