Uveal melanoma is a cancer (melanoma) of the eye involving the iris, ciliary body, or choroid (collectively referred to as the uvea). Tumors arise from the pigment cells (melanocytes) that reside within the uvea and give color to the eye. These melanocytes are distinct from the retinal pigment epithelium cells underlying the retina that do not form melanomas. When eye melanoma is spread to distant parts of the body, the five-year survival rate is about 15%.

Inspect the head, neck, lips, floor of the mouth, front and sides of the tongue and soft and hard palates. Document your findings in the patient’s chart, including the presence of no symptoms. Dentists must either biopsy any suspicious tissue or refer the patient for biopsy in a timely manner.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) may enhance the development of oral carcinoma in individuals who are already at increased risk of the disease because of tobacco consumption and cigarette smoking and so must be considered as a possible etiologic agent in oral cancer and precancer.

Peri-implantitis is a destructive inflammatory process affecting the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. The bone loss involved in peri-implantitis differentiates this condition from peri-mucositis, a reversible inflammatory reaction involving only the soft tissues around the implant.

The nicotine and tar in tobacco smoke can cause yellow or stained teeth. Brushing your teeth several times a day is one way to improve their appearance. This not only prevents staining, it also protects against gum disease. It also helps to choose a toothpaste that’s designed to fight teeth stains for people who smoke.

Smoking can impact your oral health. People who smoke are at a higher risk of developing oral cancer, gum problems, losing teeth, decay on the roots of teeth, and complications after tooth removal and gum and oral surgery.

Sugar in soda combines with bacteria in your mouth to form acid. This acid, plus the extra acid from soft drinks, attacks the teeth. Each acid attack lasts about 20 minutes, and acid attacks start over again with every sip. Ongoing acid attacks weaken tooth enamel.. just be careful to have soft drinks with your main meals do not have them as snack for example seating in your office in front computer taking soft drinks every hour… specially in this hot weather is more inviting to have cold drinks more often.
