Sex and the City

Posted: 22 June 2010

Our dentists Liverpool would like to give three cheers for Kim Cattrall! The 53-year-old Sex and the City star is proof that women of a certain age can go it alone and still enjoy life to the full. After being married three times she’s vowed not to commit to a fourth husband as she feels self sufficient. Her past relationships have made her more resilient and taught her what she does and doesn’t want - and she’s not willing to compromise. One of the secrets to being single and happy is to be in the best health that you can - you’ll enjoy life more if you’re in good health. Have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked yearly, and have regular smear tests and mammograms. For your oral health Vizilite Plus screening is available here at Apollonia Dental and Cosmetic Centre on Rodney Street in Liverpool to check for early signs of mouth cancer. Smoking or drinking alcohol increase you risk of mouth cancer, but people who both smoke or drink alcohol have a particularly high risk. Mouth cancers can be prevented and you can reduce the risk by quitting smoking and limiting your alcohol consumption, eat healthily and include five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Know the signs - a sore or ulcer that doesn’t clear up within 3 weeks. a white or red patch on the gums, tongue or lining of the mouth, difficulty swallowing or feeling that something is caught in your throat, chronic sore throats or hoarseness that persists for more than 6 weeks and difficulty in chewing or moving the jaw or tongue. Vizilite screening is available for everyone whether you are a patient here or have your own NHS dentist. If you are worried and would like peace of mind you can call us on 0151 709 9146 and a member of our team will arrange for you to come and see one of our clinicians as we don’t only have a teeth whitening Liverpool based clinic.
