Mouth Cancer Awareness Month is held in November every year and is supported by the Mouth Cancer Foundation and the Oral Health Foundation.
Every year 5000 new cases of Oral Cancer is diagnosed in the UK, resulting in 1800 deaths.
Oral cancer in the UK has been increasing since the mid 1970 it has increased by over 34 per cent in the last decade. This cancer is increasing in particular among young males. Oral cancer includes cancers of the lip, tongue and rest of the mouth. The problem is not simply that the number of new oral cancer cases is rising, as people continue to put themselves at risk through smoking and excessive drinking, but also that these cancers are being detected at an
advanced stage.

✨ Smile Transformation Alert! ✨
One of our lovely patients came to us wanting to replace her upper front central tooth, which was loose and had an exposed root and discoloration. After exploring her options, she chose a Dental Implant for a long-lasting, natural-looking solution.
🦷 Here’s what we did:
✅ Extracted the tooth & performed a gum graft to improve recession
✅ Provided a temporary crown for a seamless transition
✅ Completed teeth whitening for a brighter smile
✅ Finally, fitted her permanent implant crown—and just look at that result! 😍
Her smile is now beautifully restored, and she couldn’t be happier! 💙
If you have a loose, discolored tooth, exposed roots, or an old crown/bridge, we can help!

🌟✨ Gum Recession Surgery now available at Brunswick Dental! ✨🌟
Have you ever wondered if gum loss can be repaired? The answer is YES! 💪 Here’s a recent success story where Nigel performed perio surgery to correct gum recession on a delighted patient. 🦷
📸 Photo 1: Before surgery, the circled area reveals the patient’s gum recession above the tooth.
📸 Photo 2: Nigel skillfully removed healthy soft tissue from the roof of the mouth for a gum graft, then stitched the site.
📸 Photo 3: Witness the gum graft in position, soon to fuse seamlessly with surrounding gum tissue.
📸 Photo 4: Just a few weeks post-surgery, the roof of the mouth is fully healed.
📸 Photo 5: 8 weeks post-surgery, behold the incredible success! The gum graft has beautifully fixed the patient’s gum recession, leaving them with a radiant and confident smile. 😁🌈
🎉 A very happy patient who can now smile with confidence! 🎉

✨ Smile Transformation by Dr. Gough! ✨
Another amazing smile makeover! This patient’s journey included:
✔ Extractions & hygiene treatment
✔ Immediate dentures – a temporary solution placed right after extractions to restore function and maintain appearance
✔ Upper complete denture & lower partial denture – once the extraction sites healed and the gums stabilised, permanent dentures were custom-made for the patient.
💡 What are Immediate Dentures?
Immediate dentures are custom-made prosthetic teeth placed on the same day as tooth extractions. They help protect the gums, support healing, and ensure you never go without teeth!
Now, they can smile with confidence again! 😁💙
Thinking about a smile makeover? Book a consultation with Dr. Gough today! 📞 Call 0191 236 8191 to get started.

✨ Another Smile Restored at Brunswick Dental! ✨
Nigel has worked his magic once again! This patient came to us feeling self-conscious about a growing gap between her teeth and discomfort while eating. She wanted a permanent, fixed solution – and that’s exactly what Nigel delivered!
With a single dental implant, a gum graft, and a custom crown, her smile is beautifully restored. And here’s the best part – even during the healing process, she had a fixed temporary crown! This means no gap or denture was needed while the implant was settling. Not only is she smiling with confidence, but she’s also enjoying her favourite foods again! 🍽️😁
