FRIDAY:
First, WZZM 13 has asked me to be on Take 5 again this week Friday, April 15 between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Since it is Oral Cancer Awareness month, I thought it would be fitting to speak on oral cancer. I'm also going to talk about the different oral cancer screening tools that I use in my office every day.
We use the Velscope oral cancer screening tool in my office. For those of you that have never seen it done, it is a small device that shines a special light in your mouth. If there are abnormalities, or abnormal cells, the light will reflect a different appearance. Should we find anything suspicious, we will then take the next steps to see if it is something to worry about.
Since oral cancer is such a serious thing, I am also holding a FREE oral cancer screening event on Friday, April 22 at my office from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tell your friends! The screening will only take a few minutes, and could potentially save lives! No appointments are necessary, just stop in anytime that day.
SATURDAY:
Hudsonville Showcase! Stop by our booth at the Hudsonville High School between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. We're planning some good giveaways, so stop by and say hello! Unfortunately, I won't be there, but some of my fantastic staff members will be!
THURSDAY-SATURDAY:
The Michigan Dental Association's annual meeting is being held in Grand Rapids later this week. They've asked me to help out by being a speaker host for a number of the seminars. I will also be attending a number of seminars myself. Continuing education is so important for staying ahead of the changes in dentistry!
COOL NEW ITEM:
We are now an authorized provider for the Under Armour mouthguards! They have performance-enhancing mouthguards, as well as regular mouthguards for contact and non-contact sports. See below for more info.
