Oral Health & Oral Cancer Awareness Webinar
2023-11-22 12:30 - 13:30
November is the mouth cancer awareness month, and Montagu Dental is hosting a free webinar on 22nd November from 12:30 – 1:30pm to discuss the risk factors for oral cancer, what you need to be aware of, and how it can be prevented, detected or managed.
More people in the UK die each year of mouth cancer than of cervical and testicular cancer combined and it also causes more deaths in the UK each year than road traffic accidents. We want to be able to help inform as many people as possible about oral cancer, as late diagnosis can have a poor prognosis.

The class offers space for stretching and strengthening the body without judgment or expectation.
The practice is open level and beginner friendly.
