Our most important service = Oral Cancer Screening
Common Question: How many times have you caught cancer in your practice?
Answer: We perform an oral cancer screen as a regular part of our doctor checkup every 6 months (or anytime upon request). Over the past 17 years, we have detected 5 cancers and ordered biopsy for several others deemed pre-cancerous. In most cases, these are otherwise healthy folks who have been seeing us twice a year for years and then the next exam, presented with an abnormality.
Residency at Harvard—particularly Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital Oncology—fine tuned our attentiveness and evaluation technique.
This is a service included in biannual dentist checkup during regular cleaning visits that we are proud to offer.
