This month is a special month for us! Not only is it but it's also MoM's month where we celebrate mothers and Missions of Mercy🤗
Of course, none of what we do would be possible without the generosity of our partners, volunteers & donors. So, at the end of this month, we'll be asking something of all of you... stay tuned! 😏

Our final post for is to reiterate that early detection may result in better treatment outcomes. The 5-year survival rate of those diagnosed is 60 percent!

During a regular dental visit, dentists will ask patients about their medical histories and if the person has experienced any new or unusual symptoms, in addition to examining the patient’s oral cavity, throat, jaw and neck.

People should see a dentist if the following signs and symptoms do not disappear in two weeks:
▪️ A sore or irritation that doesn't go away
▪️ Red or white patches
▪️ Pain, tenderness or numbness in mouth or lips
▪️ A lump, thickening, rough spot, crust or small eroded area
▪️ Difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking or moving your tongue or jaw
▪️ A change in the way your teeth fit together when you close your mouth
