Thinking of Quitting Smoking for 2022?

Are you thinking of quitting smoking in the new year?  If so, well done on making a good decision that will bring you many health benefits and probably some financial ones as well.  All of us here at Woodcock Lane Dental Care would like to offer you our support.

To encourage and support your success in stopping smoking we would highly recommend accessing a cessation service, https://hlsglos.org/our-services/stop-smoking/.  This service can provide nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), in different formats, not just the well known patch, but gum, lozenges, inhalers and sprays, as well as lots of tips and advice.  Make 2022 the year you go smoke-free.

This is the time to plan your smoke-free journey for 2022.  November is Mouth Cancer Awareness Month.  Two out of every three mouth cancers are linked directly to smoking.  Be Mouthaware – check out the helpful information and advice on: https://www.dentalhealth.org/mouthcancer.

If you have any concerns about any red or white areas in your mouth, tongue, cheeks or lips, or any lumps/bumps, or any ulcers that aren’t healing please do contact us.  Please be assured that we routinely check for any signs of oral cancer for every patient attending a routine or new patient examination/check up.  Mouth cancers can occur even if you don’t have any teeth, or wear false teeth/dentures.  If in doubt, get it checked out.
