Question by Marc L: Hygienists, do you probe each and every patient? Do you do an Oral Cancer Screening?
I am working on a paper and am interested in knowing if you probe each patient, and why or why not. I was also interested in if you do an oral cancer screening as well? Do you think these are important actions in each and every go to?
Very best answer:

I don’t probe the entire mouth every visit. But I will do PSR. And a full perio screening is carried out once a year.
Also, I do an Oral Cancer Screening on each patient, every single visit.
It is surely important. A lot of physicans are not checking for Oral Cancer, so its up to me to discover anything early enough.
