Do you ever feel a bit lost when you see someone with a sore mouth, a furry tongue, or bad breath? This episode is your rapid confidence boost, delivered as a cheeky (virtual) 'million pound question' quiz between Nik and Fi. You’ll get a practical, primary care friendly approach to:

  1. Dry mouth ( what it is, common causes, and when to worry)
  2. Oral thrush (the assessment bits we all forget),
  3. Recurrent mouth ulcers (types, triggers, red flags for urgent referral, and what actually helps)
  4. Halitosis (from hygiene to halitophobia… plus one surprising cause). 

Press play now and prepare for faster, safer, calmer oral consultations afterwards.
