Your Dental Besties

Ben and Claire talk about how they perform their cancer checks. They discuss a case where a young woman had a lesion on her tongue which was not diagnosed until it was really advanced.
Do you check even if the patient has seen a dentist first? Do you check every time you see a patient? Answer in the comments. Tell us how you perform your cancer checks.

Ben and Claire start with a discussion about Ben's new skin care regime. Does retinol work and have you heard of retinal? Apparently its a thing! Listen if you want to know good skin care routines.
And did you know that you can have pilates for your face? Ben talks about his recent course that was for pilates for special injuries and this includes the TMJ. If you are a practice owner you can do wellbeing days for your staff, it helps to keep everyone supple and healthy.
Also, lets start a petition to get Ben and Claire on Gogglebox.
