Dear DrBicuspid Member,
A Southern California dental clinic is doing something many practices and practitioners shy away from: providing dental services to disabled and other special-needs patients.
Founded in August 2011 by Dr. Melvyn Glick, who came out of retirement to open the clinic, We Care Dental has already provided free care to almost 600 disabled patients, most of them in dire need of it.

And Dr. Marty Jablow answers a reader's question about oral cancer screening methods and responsibilities in his latest Ask Marty Q&A.
