Dental Health Week spotlights oral cancer

Dental Health Week – starting on Monday – raises awareness about oral cancer, the risk factors that contribute to it and lifestyle changes that can help reduce the risk of getting oral cancer.
The Australian Dental Association has fact sheets and a website providing information on what to look for in your mouth, as well as the risk factors that can contribute to oral cancer. People are encouraged to talk with their dentist about the health of their mouth and their teeth.
