November is Mouth Cancer Action Month – WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Early diagnosis saves lives – so join the campaign to make a difference in the UK. Take part in the Blue Ribbon Badge Appeal to raise funds and awareness of mouth cancer by selling and wearing your campaign badge with pride. Public – play your part through self examination for early warning signs of mouth cancer and by being aware of risk factors such as tobacco, excess alcohol and HPV.

Profession – dentists save lives with routine screenings for mouth cancer. All health care professionals must be prepared to educate and inform patients. Press – reporting the issue with the facts helps break down a lack of awareness which has contributed to a 41% rise in cases over the past decade.
