Can I Get Oral Cancer Even If I Don't Smoke or Drink?

It's a question we hear often. The short answer is yes. While smoking and heavy alcohol use are significant risk factors, oral cancer can also arise from HPV infection, sun exposure (for lip cancer), diet, and genetics. Early detection is key to successful treatment, so regular screenings are crucial, regardless of lifestyle.

What is an Odontogenic Keratocyst?

An odontogenic keratocyst is a type of cyst that forms in the jawbone, usually around the area of a developing tooth. Although it’s a benign (non-cancerous) growth, it can be aggressive and grow large, sometimes causing damage to nearby teeth and bone.

💡 Key Points:

It’s often painless and discovered through routine dental X-rays.
If not treated, it can cause swelling, tooth movement, or even infection.
Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the cyst and prevent recurrence.
Early detection and treatment are essential to avoid complications.

A vascularized free flap is a surgical technique used to rebuild areas of the face after trauma or cancer surgery. Surgeons transfer healthy tissue from another part of your body, along with its own blood vessels, to the face. Blood vessels from the free flap is connected from blood vessels from the head and neck which ensures proper blood flow, allowing the tissue to heal and function properly.✔️

This advanced method helps restore both function and appearance in complex facial reconstructions.

TMJ arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a pinhead-sized camera to diagnose and treat a variety of TMJ disorders. Some of the most common conditions it addresses include:

🔹 Internal Derangements: Correcting displaced discs or misalignment in the joint.
🔹 Inflammation: Reducing pain and swelling caused by conditions like synovitis.
🔹 Scar Tissue Removal: Clearing adhesions that can restrict movement.
🔹 Joint Locking: Treating "jaw locking" where the joint is severely restricted.

TMJ arthroscopy provides relief with quicker recovery and less pain than traditional surgery.
