Because of that, she feels obligat- ed to tell dentists about their profes- sion’s role in her delayed diagnosis and the heart-wrenching impact the ill- ness had on her and her family. With cases of HPV-related oral cancer on the rise in young people, Grayzel’s message is timelier than ever.

Grayzel is tireless in her efforts to in- crease awareness. Her emotional story, which she shares with dental profession- als across the globe, helps further her Oral cancer saga Eva Grazel urges early detection with her moving story By Robert Selleck, Managing Editor ” See SAGA, page A4 ” See page A9 Washington, D.C., is the site of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Scientific Session, May 2–5, at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center.
