As Mothers' Day weekend approaches, we'd like to wish all of the wonderful moms of TCDM a happy Mothers' Day! 🌼 Swipe to see what our student-dentist moms had to say about their journey of motherhood and being a TCDM student. 🌸 D3, Leora is a mother of two and says being both a mother and dental student has taught her so many things - one in specific, time management skills. 🌹 D2, Elizabet, is a mother of two from Queens and says "Act like a lady, think like a boss. That’s the motto I live by. Mixing the compassion that comes with being a mother of two, with the dental knowledge I have acquired, I can lovingly give patients the best care they deserve!" 🌷 D1, Frida, also a mother of two, says she learned that it’s possible for anyone with the priorities, support and organized planning to be a working mom. “When desire, love, faith, imagination and support is greater than the limitations, the difficulties become simple to conquer...” Happy Mothers' Day! . . . #touro #TouroDental #tourocollege #tourodentalhealth #tourocollegeofdentalmedicine #teethpeople #smile #dds #futuredds #futuredentists #dentalschool #dentists #whitecoats #Hudsonvalley #hudsonvalleynews #moms #mothersday #womeninwhitecoats #ladyboss #westchesterliving #westchester #westchesternews #lohud #womenempowerment

#April is coming to an end. With the closing of #OralCancerAwareness month, Dr. Aaron Yancoskie, Director of Pathology and Associate Professor of Dental Medicine, would like to share a few quick facts to get you thinking about your oral health and why everyone should get checked! . Image 1: The underlying cause for #oralcancer can vary when speaking about each of the three anatomic regions - labial vermilion, oral cavity, and oropharynx. . Image 2: One way to prevent squamous cell of the vermilion is to always apply adequate sunscreen around the lips prior to spending time in the #sun. . Image 3: #Smoking is likely responsible for over 50% of oral cancer that is diagnosed. Avoiding tobacco is one of the best decisions anyone can make for their #health. . Image 4: Whereas #HPV infection is involved in very few if any cases of oral #cancer, the majority of oropharyngeal cancers are caused by infection with this virus. . Image 5: While not all cases of oral cancer are preventable, maintaining healthy habits plays a big part. #touro #tourocollegeofdentalmedicine #smile #dds #futuredds #futuredentists #dental #dentalschool #dentalstudents #dentist #dentists #whitecoats #medicalschool #Hudsonvalley #hudsonvalleynews #westchesterliving #westchester #westchesterschools #westchesternews #lohud #TuesdayThoughts #TuesdayTip
