LONDON, UK: General awareness of mouth cancer in the UK remains dangerously low, despite more than 7,500 people being diagnosed with mouth cancer annually. Clinicians are once again being invited to help stop the impact of the disease by taking part in this year’s Mouth Cancer Action Mouth throughout November.
On the dedicated website, various materials are available to make every single event a success, said the Oral Health Foundation (OHF), which organises the annual campaign. These include a campaign pack containing balloons, blue ribbon badges, stickers, posters, blue lips, info bites and the all-important Blue Ribbon Appeal box, as well as the Blue Ribbon Appeal Kit, containing 25 blue ribbon badges and a donation collection box. Posters are also available to help spread information when clinicians do not have the time to engage every one of their patients on mouth cancer awareness.
The OHF said that the only things still needed from dentists to make the campaign a success are their enthusiasm for the cause and spreading knowledge about the disease to their patients.
“The only way we will be able to stop the suffering of thousands of mouth cancer patients in the future and limit the impact of the disease is to come together as a dental community and spread vital messages,” OHF representative Gavin Hawes said. Being at the front line of oral health care, dentists have a vital role to play in helping the public be more mouth aware, he explained.
Mouth Cancer Action Month has been held since 1998. Donations can be made at www.mouthcancer.org/donate/.
