April 2015

Dear Valued Customer,

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month in the United States, and Henry Schein is once again
proud to be a supporting sponsor of the Oral Cancer Foundations efforts to encourage dental
practices to serve as a first line of defense against oral cancer by conducting annual exams on
all patients aged 18 and older.
To promote the need for earlier detection of oral cancer, the Oral Cancer Foundation is again
encouraging dental professionals to offer free oral screenings in their community for at least
three hours on any day in April. For 2015, the Foundations goal is to set a new record for
both participating practices and screenings.
These free screenings can be a powerful tool to reduce the impact of oral cancer in your
community and promote the health of your patients. Your participation can also be an excellent
way to demonstrate to your community that you care about promoting the oral and systemic
health of your patients.
The Oral Cancer Foundation offers valuable materials to support your oral screening event,
including patient brochures, coverage on its heavily-trafficked website, and tips on how to
generate publicity for the event in your community. According to the Oral Cancer
Foundation, the exams should involve palpation and visual inspection under white light, and
could also be augmented by the use of an adjunctive screening device, such as the Identafi
system. More information is available at http://oralcancerfoundation.org, and in the attached
message from the Oral Cancer Foundation.
For over a decade, Henry Schein has been committed to raising awareness about the importance
of early detection of oral cancer. As the exclusive distributor of the Identafi screening device,
we look forward to facilitating our customers ability to conduct these important oral cancer
screenings for their patients. Together, we can have a powerful impact in fighting this disease.
Sincerely,

Stanley M. Bergman
