If the results of your examination are negative, we suggest that you continue to look at your own mouth using the checklist provided with the Oral Self-Exam Technique you have been shown and report any changes or suspicious areas to us for evaluation.
We emphasize the importance of returning for a follow-up visit to find out whether findings have improved, stayed the same, gone away or gotten worse, and if you need further treatment.
We will provide help with referrals and we stress the importance of completing the referral to find out what is causing the condition we found.
Thank you for allowing us to care for you.
