To say I’m excited about giving my Hands-on Oral Cancer Screening workshop on Friday at RDH UOR, is an understatement! 🤗
What I’m most excited about is everything the attendees of the workshop will receive, in addition to the hands-on work!
Here’s just a sampling ~ A large and fun “Dental Hygienists Save Lives” bag to carry and put all of their treasures in from the exhibit hall 😃 And ribbons for their badges! (these make excellent bags to take grocery shopping as well, an opportunity to share what hygienists do!)

I’ll have some extra bags and extra ribbons for those who aren’t in the workshop ~ if you see me, stop me to get yours! 💜

I’m excited to begin my 5th year as a consultant, educator, and trainer, with the Aliiance for HPV Free Colorado!
We are doing good work in Colorado working with dental offices, integrated health systems, dental and dental hygiene schools to increase their knowledge of HPV and confidence to share information with patients about HPV, HPV oropharyngeal cancer, the HPV vaccine, and performing a comprehensive head and neck exam/oral cancer screening!

Why is this work critical in dentistry ~ HPV causes more oropharyngeal cancers than cervical cancer, and not all dental professionals are educating patients about HPV oropharyngeal cancer.

As CEO of my business, Oral Cancer Consulting, this is another area of my work in addition to speaking and holding hands-on oral cancer screening workshops on The Cotten Method of Screening.

My latest article in RDH magazine ~ A comprehensive head and neck exam/oral cancer screening - The Cotten Method - is critical for continuity of care, early detection, and reducing risk of liability.

You and your team can have!
1. More confidence in screening.
2. Reduce the risk of liability.
3. Increase early detection.

Register for the entire Cotten Method oral cancer course covering the four science based pillars of screening in The Cotten Method; etiologies, additional risk factors, signs & symptoms, a comprehensive head and neck exam.

Dentists and dental hygienists, with their unique access to patients' throats, are ideal for conducting Oropharyngeal HPV testing. Learn more on how to partner with OmniPathology to offer practical, cost-effective HPV screening: https://bit.ly/4ci0Yko

Excited for this webinar tonight with Elevate Oral Care, unpacking the components of a comprehensive visual and tactile, extraoral, intraoral, evaluation! Are you registered?

It’s Dental Hygiene Appreciation week in Oral Cancer Awareness month! Here’s a shout out to just a few 😃Dental Hygienists who are agents of change ~ You are appreciated! 💜

Oral Cancer Foundation

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month!
Thank you Fred Michmershuizen, you are a brilliant writer! It was an honor to be interviewed for this Inside Dental Hygiene article and discuss important information, along with RDH and oral cancer survivor Barbara Boland, and American Dental Hygienists' Association President Becky Smith

https://www.aegisdentalnetwork.com/idh/2024/04/oral-cancer-screening-1

In 2024, approximately 58,450 Americans will be diagnosed with oral or oropharyngeal cancer. That’s 160 every day and close to 7 Americans every hour ~ in 5 years only a little more than half of those diagnosed will have survived this horrific cancer.

Dental friends, screen every patient AND get screened yourself!

Non-dental friends, get screened! If your dental office is not providing screenings at your dental appointments, ASK for a comprehensive screening!

Thank you ADHA for sharing the spirit of Aloha with our Dental Hygiene colleagues and ADHA members in Lahaina, Maui, waiving their 2024 membership dues.
They have experienced the unimaginable in the August 8th fire that destroyed historic Lahaina Town.
Our dental hygiene colleagues lost family, homes, jobs, and some lost everything. They are resilient, every act of Aloha and support aids in their journey to rebuild.

Oral Cancer Screening CE on Maui 12/7 🌴
It’s not a regular vacation trip to the island I love and go to, to recharge ~ It’s a trip to share much Aloha and give back, to the people and an island that’s given much to me over many years. 🌴
If you are a dental hygienist or dentist on Maui, join me and the Maui college hygiene program director, Leanne, on 12/7!
Many great gifts for the drawing and products for attendees to take home, compliments of the amazing sponsors of this course! Thank you sponsors!
