🦷 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿, or oral cancer, develops in the oral cavity's tissues, affecting areas like the lips, tongue, and gums. It occurs when mouth cells mutate and form tumors, often beginning in the squamous cells. While anyone can develop mouth cancer, it's more common in individuals over 40, especially those with certain lifestyle risk factors. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for early detection. 🩺

𝗠𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 significantly impacts daily life, causing pain, sores, and difficulties with eating and speaking. Such symptoms can lead to malnutrition, weight loss, and social withdrawal. Visible changes may affect self-esteem, deterring social and professional interactions.

Risk factors include 🚬 tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption 🍻, 𝗛𝗣𝗩 infection, sun exposure 🌞, dietary deficiencies, and weakened immunity. However, the disease can occur without known risk factors. Early detection is vital, as symptoms like persistent sores, discolored patches, or lumps warrant a doctor's consultation.

Treatment varies by cancer's size, stage, and location, involving 🏥 surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. Early diagnosis improves treatment outcomes. 🌟

This method involves sealing the decay under preformed stainless steel crowns , aligning with modern, biologically-oriented dental care strategies. Notably preferred by children, parents, and dentists , this technique is backed by evidence demonstrating its effectiveness and acceptability, providing a more patient-friendly alternative to traditional fillings . Despite initial concerns about potential progression of sealed caries, long-term studies have shown that the Hall Technique can successfully arrest decay, reducing the risk of pain and infection associated with untreated carious teeth . Originating from the work of Dr. Norna Hall in Scotland, this technique simplifies the restoration of primary molars by cementing a crown directly over the decayed tooth without prior caries removal or tooth prepa...

Replacing multiple teeth with dental implant supported prostheses. Is that possible?

Replacement of multiple teeth follows generally the same process as replacement of one tooth. However, if two adjacent teeth are required to be replaced they can be supported on a single implant. The entire set of teeth in a jaw can be supported on a minimum of four implants, while in some cases up to […] Original post here: Replacing multiple teeth with dental implant supported prostheses.
