New evidence has linked the presence of HPV in an oral mucosal infection to the increase risk of oral cancer.
It has been a challenge in the past to identify those individuals with these risk factors until now. We will discuss
adjunctive oral cancer screening technologies as well as review why oral systemic health and wellness are key
to oxidizing viral infections. We will review the importance of consistently conducting an effective oral abnormality visual “lump, bump & bulge” tactile and screening exam each time all patients are in our care

Tongue Shui: The Original Oral-Systemic Link
Debra Grant, RDH, MA
Tongue analysis is one of the most precious diagnostic methods in Chinese medicine. It is truly astonishing
that the oral systemic connection was recognized 5000 years ago. In integrative dentistry, we look at the
tongue in another dimension. Building the dental hygiene department is always an important asset to bring
to a dental office currently or when applying for a position.
