Quotes
“Only 15% of dental practices are doing head and neck exams”
“One in five people die from oral cancer… and we can screen for this”
“You take photos if you see something that isn’t normal, measure it, take notes and if you can put a probe next to it… and then you call them back… you don’t wait for them to show up for their next hygiene visit. I like to see them again within 3 weeks”
“Don’t say it’s fine unless you 100% no it’s good and healthy”
“If you are not doing those head and neck exams, you HAVE TO start today, it could save a life”
Obsession of the week
Patti: “I cannot go anywhere without chapstick”.
