It was very sad to hear of the death of Larry Hagman towards the end of last year, so many of us grew up with him as a regular on our TV screens as JR Ewing.Not so many know that Mr Hagman actually dies of mouth cancer, having been diagnosed in October of last last year.
Once again, this perhaps will raise the profile of mouth cancer and just how dangerous it is.
The latest news here in the UK is that over 6000 cases were diagnosed last year alone, and without early detection, half of those diagnosed will die.
During your Dental Health Assessment here at Absolute, we check your mouth for signs of health and this includes checks for oral cancer. If you notice anything unusual in your mouth, or if you have an ulcer that doesn't heal within 2 weeks, please make an appointment for Rhod or Ruth to check it for you.
