Doctors Draw Attention To Oral Health
Two dentists on Montserrat are bringing attention to an often-overlooked health category, oral health.
Dental officer, Dr. Sutonyae Dublin Thomas, and dental surgeon, Dr. Coretta Fergus, spoke on the radio show Talking Health recently, and discussed common oral diseases on Montserrat.
They also gave advice on how to maintain oral health. Consistently brushing, visiting the dentist and consuming less sweets were among the tips given.
It was also noted that although not frequent on Montserrat, alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking could potentially lead to mouth cancer.
