Mouth cancer survivor urges Fifers to speak to their dentist if there are mouth changes

Fifers are being urged to speak to their dentist if they notice any changes to their mouth during the pandemic

A mouth cancer survivor from near Kelty is urging Fifers to contact their dentist if there are any changes inside the mouth during the coronavirus pandemic.

Barbara Boyd has raised awareness of the condition while supporting charity Let's Talk About Mouth Cancer.

Part of her tongue was subsequently removed, which meant she had to learn how to eat and speak again.
