SEE IT EARLY. SAVE A LIFE. The Dentist’s Frontline Role in Oral Cancer Prevention & Early Detection
Certificate of participation with 1 CME is available
Oral cancer outcomes depend heavily on how early the disease is detected, yet a significant number of cases continue to present at advanced stages—despite regular dental visits.
“See It Early. Save A Life.” positions the dentist as the first and most critical checkpoint in oral cancer prevention and early diagnosis. This webinar focuses on building clinical vigilance at the chairside, recognising early and potentially malignant changes, identifying high-risk patients, and implementing a simple, systematic screening protocol that fits seamlessly into daily dental practice.
The session emphasises practical decision-making, ethical responsibility, and timely referral, moving beyond theory to real-world application. The goal is clear: to empower dentists to detect oral cancer earlier—when intervention is simpler, survival rates are higher, and quality of life can be preserved.
