Mouth cancer checks this week

A free check for indications of mouth cancer is available on Wednesday next, 21 September, from Kilcullen Dental, writes Brian Byrne.

The initiative is the practice’s participation in Mouth Cancer Awareness Day.

Over 300 cases of cancer of the mouth are detected in Ireland each year, and if detected early, these cancers are easily treated.

Dr Gary Collins says that anyone with any worries about their mouth area should avail of the check. Appointments can be booked at 045 480816.

The examination is quick and painless. Please take this opportunity by taking 10 minutes to do something that could save your life.
