Oral Cancer Cause

Oral Cancer Cause

Supporting local Clearwater charity, Oral Cancer Cause, is very close to Dr. Marquez’s heart. OCC’s purpose is to improve the quality of life for oral cancer patients through financial support so that they may face the world with peace and dignity during and after medical treatment. Oral Cancer Cause provides financial help to patients and their families who are facing the challenges of oral cancer. They also help to create public awareness about the rise of this cancer and the importance of oral cancer exams such as our VELscope for early diagnosis and successful treatment.

Dentistry From The Heart

Heather and I had the opportunity to volunteer February 6th with a wonderful organization called Dentistry From the Heart.

Started 14 years ago by Dr. Vincent Monticciolo, this charity offers free dental care to those in need all across the country. We enjoyed helping so many people feel good about their oral health and loved seeing them smile.

Oral Cancer Foundation

Oral Cancer Foundation

Each year we get so excited about forming a walk team to raise funds and awareness for the St. Petersburg chapter of the Oral Cancer Foundation. Approximately 43,250 Americans are diagnosed yearly with oral cancer and 1 life will be lost every hour of every day in the U.S., but we know that the survival rate when detected early is 80-90%.We walk with hope. We walk to support. And we walk to remember. Thank you to all who help us with this great cause!
