Hello JT2

Your post is fine here. "Activisim" may have been more appropriate but it does fall into "Symptoms & Diagnosis".

This topic will generate many responses from many senior members and activists.

My dentist always did an oral cancer check at every visit. Whether is was a complete one (3 minutes I heard) I do not know, but he would pull the tongue out and LOOK under it and around the mouth. Maybe 30 seconds. I think the 3 minute check involve feeling the lymph nodes.

I would say this was a value added service he just included. I know you will hear from Dr. Jerry Wilk DDS. He just purchased some new equipment that has been discussed extensively here.

Anyway, Welcome to the OCF. Best Wishes in Your TX. Petey
