Fighting back against Oral Cancer in Leeds

Sunday, August 18th, 2013

2603730_blogOral cancer is a horrible disease to contract, as is any disease of this nature, but when it comes to your mouth you may well be putting yourself at serious risk in Leeds if you have a wayward lifestyle. Now, the reasons behind oral cancer aren’t exactly specific or that clear, but if you are a heavy smoker/drinker and have an awful diet, it won’t help your cause and if you suddenly realise that you are having constant repetitive problems such as ulcers, sore throats, coughing and ear aches, they are just a few pointers that you are possibly heading into cancer territory and should get yourself tested quickly. The quicker you are looked at, the better the condition can be treated and the good news on this front is that recovery rates are improving. But it won’t be a joyride for you; you will need as much support as you can muster from everywhere you can. You will also have to make lifestyle changes in order to prevent a repeat of what you have gone through and for this you are going to have to enlist professional back-up.

It’s not just about the Brush in the City of Leeds you know

Sunday, June 30th, 2013

If you want to optimise your dental care in the City of Leeds, it’s not just about the brushing; you need to see beyond it as well. Of course getting a good toothbrush is a first priority so you need to experiment until you find one that you are happy with and then of course, ensure that you are using it correctly. However, as we should all know by now, brushing is simply not enough to ensure you have great oral health, so you need to back it up. Getting good toothpaste to suit your teeth and gums is also vital in this dental jigsaw and again, it could be a matter of trying a few out first. But the real benefits can come from dental floss and inter-dental brushes: these reach far deeper than your brush can ever go and get between the teeth and up into the gums for a thorough clean; follow this up with a darn good mouthwash and you will be well on the way to oral heaven. Plus, don’t be afraid to try out a few herbal remedies as they are great soothers if you have a few problems. Finally your dentist: this is the final piece of the dental care puzzle because not only will they go deep with the cleaning, but will also patch you up quickly if things start to go wrong.

Horrible Oral Cancer in Central Leeds

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

In a vibrant place like central Leeds, it expects a lot from you: work-wise, you can be running around all day, stealing a bite here and there, taking the stresses on the chin and then when you finish, it’s time to play- hard and then it’s drinking, smoking and fast foods and dancing and things! It is lovely to be young and immortal….that is until of these extremities catch up with you and you are diagnosed with oral cancer. All of the aforementioned things like stress diet and lifestyle can really take its toll on your mouth and in the early days you may find yourself with niggling annoyances that won’t go away, ulcers, jaw aches, sores on the lips and a sore throat- all signs that you may have a problem and need to go for a few tests. Within days you will know the worst but by acting fast, you will have given yourself a chance of defeating the disease once you have had the therapy done. It will never be easy, but if you have the support of friends and family and a good after-care team, AND if you are prepared to stop doing the things that got you here in this pickle in the first place, there is no reason why you shouldn’t make a complete recovery and live out your life.

Leeds goes to war with Oral Cancer

Monday, February 18th, 2013

One of the things that anyone dreads hearing is the diagnosis of oral cancer; it means you have to prepare yourself for war and be ready to fight it head on. Though even today in Leeds, there is no decisive reason for it happening there are some things that you could have been aware of in the beginning. Your diet is important as it helps to maintain a strong immune system, but you will really be enticing the disease in if you smoke and drink heavily and suffer from excess stress. The first signs are generally anything that has been constantly nagging away at you for sometime; sore throats, ulcers, jaw aches and constant coughing, and these need to be checked out immediately because one of the keys to beating the disease is to catch it early. If the diagnosis is what you’ve been dreading, then the battle begins in earnest. Your lifestyle has to change overnight and once you have been treated, you can’t just rest on your laurels, because you need to change the way you live. Throw everything you can at the disease and make sure you have the support from friends and family; the disease is beatable and statistics are good, but you have got to want this more than anything else in your life.

The obstacle of Oral Cancer in Leeds

Monday, December 17th, 2012

If you live an exuberant lifestyle in Leeds and you love to push the boat out, love smoking, drinking and fast foods, then you could be heading for a fall at some point in your life and be exposing your mouth to the threat of oral cancer. This disease as you may well know is far from being cured, whatever money is thrown at it, which rather suggests that no-one knows why it strikes in some people and not in others, but certainly, bad habits like the above will not help the cause. It is also wise to be aware of the symptoms. Generally anything that continues to linger is a threat: sore throat, ulcers, jaw and earaches and problems with swallowing certainly need looking at as soon as is possible because one of ways of beating the disease is to have it diagnosed and then treated early. The treatment of chemo, physical or radiotherapy will be quite severe on the body and your already bruised mind, so you need to get yourself ready for it and have people, both professional and social, waiting for you when you get out and ready to help you through it. When you come through the recovery stage and get yourself back to ‘normal’, it is probably time that you sat down and took a long hard look at the lifestyle that got you in this mess and then turn it around- it’s a simple equation: just do everything completely opposite to what you used to!

Living With Oral Cancer In Leeds

Monday, September 17th, 2012

Oral cancer is the most bitter pill to swallow if you have been diagnosed with it and can take all of the strength you can muster to fight it, along with friends and family to help. Just why the disease persists, and is on the increase in Leeds is anyone’s guess. Doctors and dentists will attribute the problem to poor lifestyle choices from smoking, drinking and diet, yet if that’s the case, why do some people do all of these and live an unblemished life. One thing is for sure though, if the disease is caught early, recovery rates are also on the increase- not the ideal solution but it’s a start, so it is always a good idea to familiarise yourself with the symptoms so that you can get a jump start on the problem. Typical things to watch out for are the repetition of issues in the mouth- aching jaws, sores, ulcers and anyway, you should know yourself when things don’t feel right in your mouth and then get yourself checked out. If the worst news comes through, at least you have given yourself an early chance and once you have been treated, then you can come out of the other side, recover and then focus on changing the lifestyle that got you at this point in the first place.

Overcoming Oral Cancer in Leeds

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

There are many things in life that can scare you to the core in life, especially if it’s health related and there is no bigger shock to the system than being diagnosed with some form of cancer: this disease is a real baffler as there seems to be no justification or reason behind what causes it- it can affect the most healthy person in the world.

With oral cancer, it’s still not black and white; however, there are certain things in life that you should avoid putting in your mouth in order to reduce the risk. Smoking, drinking and bad foods on a regular basis will give your mouth a battering and increase the risk of problems arising. Your lifestyle will also affect your immune system and stress levels- also linked to the disease and so we arrive at the conclusion that if you at least try to do everything in moderation and keep yourself on an even keel, you will give yourself a fighting chance in Leeds.

Being able to recognise changes in your mouth is also essential in order to catch things early and get them treated early- the only way to beat the disease. For example, continuous sore throats, coughing, sores and neck aches etc., are not normal conditions the mouth goes through; anything out the ordinary should be analysed immediately. Even though it never seems to go away, the disease is not as powerful as it was because of better treatments- it can be beaten if you are ready for the fight.

Monday, July 9th, 2012

Mouth ulcers can appear for numerous reasons, making eating, drinking and talking a painful experience.

For some people ulcers can be a chemical reaction caused by a range of products, alcohol and aspirin are two common causes. If you have had unprotected sex there is the possibility you have contracted herpes, mouth ulcers are a obvious symptom of this, you can have a health check from your local GP or sexual health clinic if you think this might be the case.

There is no single, ideal treatment for mouth ulcers. Generally it is a matter of waiting for the ulcer to heal and beginning preventative measures for the future. Eliminating any chemical or food products that may be causing the ulcers is the best first step. If you find your are consistently biting your cheek, your dentist may recommend filing down a tooth if it is particularly sharp. Gargling water with either salt or paracetamol will provide temporary relief from the pain.
