Symptoms may include a lump in the neck, a sore in the mouth, or a sore throat that doesn’t go away. During Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we want to take some time to spotlight the extraordinary dentists and practitioners who have taken on this little-understood cancer and survived.\nToday's guest is Dr. Michael R. Sesemann, a dentist, educator, and Nebraska Institute of Comprehensive Dentistry founder. Michael has been described as \"the best dentist you've never heard of\". He exudes a passion for his work that helped him through his cancer diagnosis.\nMichael served as the President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry between 2009 and 2010, is a member of seven American dental associations, and is currently an Adjunct Faculty Member at the Kois Center.\n\nIn 2018, Michael found a lump on his neck. Like many people often do, Michael didn't get it checked out right away, after being told that it was probably just caused by allergies. When he found out that it was cancerous, he began a long and hard journey to recovery.\nResources\n\nFollow your curiosity, connect, and join our ever-growing community of extraordinary minds.\nCariFree Website\nCariFree on Instagram\nCariFree on Facebook\nCariFree on Pinterest\nCariFree on Twitter\nDr. Kim Kutsch on LinkedIn\nDr. Michael R.
