DCDS Member, Dr. Paras Patel, recognizes that some oral lesions aren’t just “watch and wait” cases… they’re early signals of something bigger.

Our latest General Membership Meeting delivered big—from Dr. Rajiv Patel pushing boundaries in the implant era (and keeping the room hooked), to Nancy Cartwright’s inside look at The Alliance in action, to a celebration of Public Health Scholarship recipient Bushra Nikhat.
