I am so glad that there are professionals like Jerry and Mike who are working to educate their own peers. I also think that all of us can play a part in that, and I know a lot of us do. I actually started going to a new dentist - well, not so new, I went to her about 10 years ago but then insurance changed, etc... but I started back with her a few months ago as I really liked her before. I found that although she does do oral cancer checks on her patients, she is not as up to date on everything as I had hoped - but is very interested in hearing all about my cancer and everything I have learned about oral cancer (mostly from this wonderful web site) Although I am an RN by education, I work in information technology now so it's interesting to see how often I actually know more than my own physicians.... so I try to educate as much as possible!
