Course Title: Oral Cancer Screening – When You Know Better, You Do Better

Course Description: One American dies every hour from oral cancer – how many are your patients? Let’s face it, most dental practices still screen for cancer with a white light exam which cannot detect cancer until it is in stage 3 or 4 squamous cell carcinoma. As dental professionals, once we know better we must do better. Attendees will learn the latest statistics and risk factors, review the rationale for adjunctive screening devices, and discover a protocol they can easily implement in their office. In addition, attendees will learn tips for patient campaigns and communication.

Participant Objectives:

·         Oral cancer statistics and health risk factors

·         Rationale for adjunctive screening technologies

·         Protocol for oral cancer screenings

·         Tips for creating Oral Cancer Awareness in your office
