Sue, you are so, so right! I have made it my focus in the drive for awareness.....the necessity for our dental professionals to be better educated about the importance of a proper, thorough, SPECIFIC oral cancer examination of every patient, every single time they sit in their chair. Arghhhhh! If every dentist were like our Jerry Wilck, we'd all be in better shape. That's why we need to learn from those who know in order to teach those who don't. Jerry does all he can, but he is only one man!! The public has to be made aware of the risks, and the signs, and the procedures that should be performed on them by their dentists. They need to demand a good, specific exam. And they should demand a return visit if there is an area of concern. Too often, they are told that it should be fine soon. Not all of these lesions are painful, adn the patient dismisses them until treatment is more extensive. Sighhhhhh....It shoudn't be this hard to get it right, should it???
