As we mark September as National Oral Health Month, we focus on the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene, not just for a healthy smile but for overall well-being. Oral health plays a critical role in preventing a range of conditions, from cavities and gum disease to more serious issues such as heart disease and diabetes. On tonight’s edition of Medical Matters, we’ll be joined Mangoedi-Kinder Modisha, Dental Practitioner who’ll chat to more about this.

This evening on “In Conversation with Dr Eve” we talk about the trauma of cancer and post traumatic growth. Trauma of cancer may involve stressful events that repeat or continue over time. The patient may suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress anytime from diagnosis through treatment and possible cancer recurrence, so screening may be needed more than once. The medical team will look for symptoms of PTS or PTSD. The main difference between PTS and PTSD is the duration and severity of symptoms. While PTS symptoms usually subside within a few weeks or months, PTSD symptoms can persist for years if left untreated. “Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is where someone has been affected by PTSD and finds a way to take new meaning from their experiences in order to live their lives in a different way than prior to the trauma,”. To discuss these issues further we’re joined by Dr Eve.
