💙🦷 Standing Together for Oral Cancer Awareness 💙
Last month, our Operation Dental practices showed their support for Oral Cancer Awareness Month by wearing blue across all offices. From front desk to clinical teams, our people came together to spark conversation, promote early ...detection, and remind patients how important regular screenings really are. 😁🪥🦷
We’re proud of our teams for raising awareness beyond the smile because prevention, education, and compassionate care are at the heart of what we do. 💙
