The performance of a comprehensive extraoral and intraoral examination is one of the most critical components of a routine dental hygiene assessment in yet is so highly overlooked.   The medical and dental communities have been alerted of an emergence of an atypical profile that has become the fastest growing population of newly diagnosed oral cancer victims. No longer can we look toward the typical profile related to age, smoking and alcohol consumption.
