Patient Impact: 

"I referred a patient to her doctor and oral surgeon to evaluate a suspicious lesion on her x-ray. It looked like advanced periodontal disease. It turned out to be cancerous. She had 5 teeth and a portion of her mandible removed. Her daughter came in and thanked me for saving her mother's life."
