| Visit to Quit Smoking Clinic at SASMEC 2026|

DPH Department had the privilege of bringing our Year 3 KOD students to visit the Quit Smoking Clinic at SASMEC. It was an experience that truly brought learning to life.

This visit was designed to give students meaningful exposure to how a Quit Smoking Clinic operates in a real clinical setting. From observing patient counselling sessions to understanding behavioural support approaches and to***co dependence management, students gained valuable insight into the practical side of to***co cessation.

The objective of this visit was to inspire and motivate our future healthcare professionals to take an active role in to***co cessation efforts. As they move forward in their training, we hope they carry with them not only the skills, but also the compassion needed to support their patients in leading healthier, smoke-free lives.

A heartfelt thank you to the team at SASMEC for making this experience so impactful and memorable.

| Mouth Cancer Awareness Month (MCAM) 2026 |

February is marked as Mouth Cancer Awareness Month (MCAM), an initiative aimed at raising awareness and emphasizing that early detection of mouth cancer can save lives.

In conjunction with MCAM, the Dental Public Health Unit, Kulliyyah of Dentistry (KOD) took the initiative to set up an oral cancer awareness exhibition booth at KOD to educate and engage the visitors.

Spot the signs, stop mouth cancer

👀 Early signs of oral cancer may include:
🔹 Non-healing mouth ulcers
🔹 Red, white or mixed patches in the mouth
🔹 Lumps, swelling, or thickened areas
🔹 Persistent pain, numbness, or difficulty chewing

The good news? You can check your own mouth at home!

🪞 Take a few minutes to practice the 6 steps of self oral examination as the video below:
