In this conversation, we catch up with ODA ASM speaker Dr. Hagen Klieb, Certified Specialist of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine and Pathology based in Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. Dr. O’Keefe asked him about a question that he frequently encounters from dentists: does HPV really cause oral cancer?
