Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

You need to have a head and neck cancer exam by someone who does this regularly. Unfortunately, 95% of dentists do not do this. Further, if it''''s something suspicious, it would be nice to be able to have a brush biopsy (like a PAP smear) rather than a surgical biopsy. Feel free to contact me, or any other dentist who does these. I am at Dr@DentistSpa.com Further, if it''''s been there more than 2 weeks you should have it checked sooner rather than later.

Any notice of an obvious abnormal /lesion/spot needs further evaluation-immediately. There are many factors which a practitioner must take in to account when observing your oral lesion; familial and personal medical history, nutrition, lifestyle, habits and medications. Feel free to give my office a call and I will be glad to assist you in a diagnosis. Then, you can ease your mind with a definitive answer as to what is present and what steps need to be taken. Good day!Dr. Peritore
