Oral cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Yet, many don’t realize how important it is to get screened regularly. Early detection can boost survival rates up to 85%! Watch for warning signs like persistent mouth sores, red or white patches, difficulty swallowing, or numbness in your mouth and face. If you notice anything unusual lasting more than two weeks, see a professional immediately.

Remember, screenings are quick, painless, and can be done during your regular dental checkup. Don’t wait—protect your health by staying informed and proactive.

Your health matters. Spread the word this April during Oral Cancer Awareness Month!

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) affects nearly everyone at some point. It is the most common sexually transmitted infection and linked to several cancers including cervical, throat, anal, and penile cancers. The good news? HPV is preventable and manageable through vaccination, screening, and awareness.

Get the HPV vaccine if eligible.
Attend all recommended cervical screening appointments.
Use protection during sex but remember it’s not 100% protective against HPV.
Talk openly with partners and healthcare providers.
Spread awareness—knowledge is power!

Together, we can reduce the global cancer burden by about 5% — giving everyone one less worry in a world full of uncertainties.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Humane Papillomviren (HPV) können #Krebs auslösen. In Deutschland erkranken jedes Jahr über 10.000 Menschen an #Gebärmutterhalskrebs, Krebs im Mund-Rachen-Raum und weiteren Krebsarten, die durch eine HPV-Infektion ausgelöst werden können. In Baden-Württemberg sind weniger als die Hälfte der Jugendlichen gegen HPV geimpft.

❗ HPV wird über direkten Kontakt von Mensch zu Mensch übertragen, meist sexuell. Daher sollte die Impfung möglichst vor dem ersten sexuellen Kontakten erfolgen. Den besten Schutz bietet die HPV-Impfung ab einem Alter von 9 Jahren.
