It’s that time of year where everything hits the gas pedal. Days become shorter as the sun sets earlier, and the months begin to fly by and become cooler in temperature. However, in between all the chaos of football games, holidays, and everything else that takes room in your life, it’s important to stay on top of your oral health and use your dental insurance before the end of the year. Before you know it, 2019 will be in the books. 2020, here we come!

Any pain, ache, or soreness in your mouth is an unpleasant experience – also known as a toothache. Toothaches can cause sensitivity, both to temperature and touch (i.e. chewing), so it’s important to let your dentist know if you’re experiencing any of these oral issues. Once you notify your dentist, they can run a series of tests to diagnose the cause of your toothache and get you on a path to healing!

Oral cancer refers to cancer found in any part of the mouth, including cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks and floor of the mouth. It can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated early. Unfortunately, oral cancers are often not detected early because the symptoms can be painless, and many people are not aware of the disease. But the good news is that survival rate is high when oral cancers are found in the first stages. Awareness and early detection are key!
