Head and neck cancer is a general term for malignant tumors that develop in the head and neck region, including the larynx, oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. Because this area is involved in essential everyday functions such as breathing, swallowing, and speaking, treatment can be challenging. If you have a voice change lasting more than 6 weeks, a mouth sore that doesn't heal after 3 weeks, or a lump in the neck, please see an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist.2026-06-26

Malocclusion and Orthodontic Treatment

Malocclusion is a condition in which the upper and lower teeth do not fit together correctly. When the teeth fit together well, it is easier to chew food effectively, speak clearly, and maintain a natural appearance. Leaving malocclusion untreated may reduce chewing efficiency and make tooth decay and gum disease more likely, so an accurate diagnosis and treatment at an appropriate time are important. Please consult an orthodontic specialist to decide whether and when to begin orthodontic treatment.2026-06-26
