Had an emergency patient last night @8.45pm, she claimed she had a toothache which started in the upper molar area on the right side and extended to lower molars on the same side. She said she has been taking Advil every 6 hours for the last few days. She claimed she had her teeth cleaned at another office 4 months ago.
I took her particulars, reviewed her medical and did a periodontal exam, her gums in that region were so swollen and red, her pocket depths were generalised 4mm, localised 5-7mm in the posterior region, oral hygiene was fair. I completed her cleaning with hand and ultrasonic scalers AND gave her specific instructions for homecare which included regular flossing and brushing, followed by a mouthwash and frequent salt water rinses until the swelling goes down. She just called me saying how happy she is because she just ate her 1st good meal in a week, her pain is gone and her gums are not so tender any more. She will come to see me in 2 weeks for a follow up. I had suggested Periowave Laser Therapy in that area, she will decided at that time if she wants to go ahead with that option.

FREE ORAL CANCER SCREENING & DENTAL HYGIENE CONSULTATION
In honor of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, SURREY DENTAL HYGIENE CLINIC will be offering free oral cancer screenings for the month of April and May. Oral cancer is not a rare disease. Approximately 40,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer every year in the US. It kills one person every hour of every day, and over 100 new individuals will be diagnosed with it each day. The good news is that it can often be found early in its development, through a simple, painless, and quick screening.
Who should get screened?
Every adult. Oral cancer can often be caught early, even as a pre-cancer. With early detection, survival rates are high and the side effects are from treatment are at their lowest. Like other screenings you engage in such as cervical, skin, prostate, colon and breast examinations, oral cancer screenings are an effective means of finding cancer at its early, highly curable stages. Make them part of your annual health check-ups.
What are the risk factors?
There are two distinct pathways by which most people come to oral cancer. One is through the use of tobacco and alcohol, a long term historic problem and cause, and the other is through exposure to the HPV16 virus (human papilloma virus version 16), which is now the leading cause of oral cancers in the US, and the same one, which is responsible for the vast majority of cervical cancers in women. The quickest growing segment of the oral cancer population are young, healthy, non-smokers due to the connection to this virus.
Early Indicators:
Red and/or white discolorations of the soft tissues of the mouth.
Any sore which does not heal within 14 days.
Hoarseness which lasts for a prolonged period of time.
A sensation that something is stuck in you throat.
Numbness in the oral region.
Difficulty in moving the jaw or tongue.
Difficulty in swallowing.
Ear pain which occurs on one side only.
A sore under a denture, which even after adjustment of the denture, still does not heal.
A lump or thickening which develops in the mouth or on the neck.
An oral cancer screening should be conducted every year, so take advantage of this free offer and get screened today. Call RONNIE SINGH @ 7789870219 to make an appointment for your complimentary screening.
