November Is Mouth Cancer Awareness Month – Are You At Risk?

We are passionate about helping our patients achieve long-lasting oral health. That’s why we encourage regular visits for oral hygiene exams and cleanings. During these visits, we clean your teeth and check for signs of decay, gum disease, and mouth cancer. November is Mouth Cancer Awareness Month, a time to promote knowledge about this form of cancer. Mouth cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that can be detected anywhere in the mouth and even on the lips.

What Causes Bad Breath?

Do you find yourself constantly worrying about the smell of your breath? It is not unusual to experience bad breath from time to time. This is extremely common after eating certain foods and drinking certain beverages, such as coffee. However, if you are regularly experiencing bad breath not caused by food or beverages, then you may be dealing with an oral health problem. Bad breath is one of the warning signs that you may have a condition that needs to be treated.
