COURSE PURPOSE:

Today, oral cancer kills one person in the US every hour; the five-year survival rate has not changed in over
40 years. These are shocking statistics. Its time for these statistics to change. Dentists have tools available that
can enhance early oral cancer detection and its time to recognize what they are. Health care experts now
recommend that all adults beyond the age of 18 receive annual oral cancer screenings. Do dentists know why?
Are dentists seeing everything that they should by merely doing traditional extra/intra-oral screening
examinations? How effective are dentists in dealing with oral cancer detection? Its about time that they know.
