The three-time All-Ireland winner was talking on Mouth Cancer Awareness Day
Speaking to mark ‘Mouth Cancer Awareness Day’ on ‘the Whole Tooth’ podcast the captial legend said: “I had a small ulcer on my gum and swelling on the floor of my mouth and thought it might be serious.
“Early diagnosis is the key. Dental practitioners are very aware of the potential difficulties you can run into if this is not dealt with quickly.“I would very much recommend regular checks and if you notice anything, like bleeding when brushing your teeth, then you should be seen by your dentist immediately.”
