Checking for mouth cancer
As mouth cancer can strike in a number of places, including the lips, tongue, gums and cheeks, and given that early detection is so crucial for survival, it’s extremely important that we all know what to look out for.
Three signs and symptoms not to ignore are:... •Mouth ulcers which do not heal in three weeks. •Red and white patches in the mouth. •Unusual lumps or swellings in the mouth or head and neck area.
Please call us now to book your check up if you haven't already on 01189590222. #mouthcancerawareness #mouthcanceractionmonth2018

It's mouth cancer action month 2018!
Beating mouth cancer is so dependent on diagnosing it at an early stage.
If it is caught early, the chances of surviving mouth cancer are nine out of ten – those odds are pretty good, and that’s why early detection is so important.
... Remember to book your 6 monthly check up. You can contact us on 01189590222 or e-mail us at reception@kendrickdental.co.uk.
We look forward to seeing you. #smile #mouthcanceractionmonth #November

Here is an excerpt from Burt Reynolds Obituary which was published recently:- Reynolds found his run of success ending abruptly during the filming of a fight scene in 1984 when he was accidentally struck on the jaw with an iron chair. Reynolds developed temporomandibular joint disease, but the condition remained undiagnosed for almost a year. His hearing, balance and speech were all affected, he suffered from migraine and sensitivity to light, and because he could not eat pr...operly lost several stone. His weight loss, haggard appearance and slurred speech led to a flurry of rumours that he was suffering from cancer or Aids. After consulting 13 dentists Reynolds’s disease was diagnosed and he spent the next three months having each of his teeth realigned.
Trauma can certainly be a cause of TMJ disease( we now call it TMD) and sadly many dentists find it difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat. It is associated with chronic pain and is debilitating. More commonly it develops without an obvious cause but there is a strong relationship with stress. Typically it will affect females in their twenties, thirties and forties. What probably happened was that Burt’s jaw joints were damaged by the blow to his jaw. This causes swelling, damage to some of the delicate parts of the joint and all this affects how the teeth fit together (which dentist call ‘The Occlusion’) Sometimes after an event like this the joints and teeth will settle back down again but in this case the joints continued to be a problem. It’s likely the treatment Burt had is a procedure called Equilibration which involves incredibly precise, delicate reshaping of the teeth where they touch each other. We do sometimes carry out this procedure (several of our dentists are trained to do this) but more commonly we use bite appliances to allow the jaw to settle and heal. Only then will we consider whether Equilibration is appropriate. For more information please give us a call.

Your child's oral health is extremely important. Taking your child to the dentist early on will help them get used to the sights, sounds and smells of the practice. As soon as the first teeth appear, use a small childrens toothbrush with a small smear of fluoride toothpaste. Your child's tooth brushing should be supervised until at least 7 years old using a timer to ensure you are brushing for the correct amount of time of 2 minutes. Reward charts can work well to encourage your child's brushing.

Is this the end for fillings? Newspaper article
Fillings could eventually become a thing of the past - as British scientists have found a way to restore the enamel once it's worn away other than a filling. Now researchers at Queen May University of London have developed a material that, once applied to a tooth, allows the enamel to regrow. The next step is to carry out clinical trials.

A child is having a rotten tooth removed in England every 10 minutes, due largely to high-sugar diets and a failure to clean teeth properly. Make sure you keep up to date with your childs check ups and clean their teeth twice daily for 2 minutes.

It's less than a month until National Smile Month 2018! Look out for tips in maintaining good oral health.
National Smile Month highlights three key messages, all of which go a long way in helping us develop and maintain a healthy mouth. They are: •Brush your teeth last thing at night and on at least one other occasion with a fluoride toothpaste. •Cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks.... •Visit your dentist regularly, as often as they recommend.
Our teeth have such an important role to play in our lives, lets look after them!
