Tell your patients

It would help us greatly if you could tell your patients on September 17 that it is Mouth Cancer Awareness Day. Please emphasise the importance of regular dental examinations of the soft and hard tissues. For further information about mouth, head and neck cancer, please refer to our recently updated website – www.mouthcancer.ie.

Thank you for your support over the last 15 years of raising awareness of mouth cancer. Early detection saves lives.
