The Ontario Dental Association’s (ODA) Annual Spring Meeting (ASM) is fast approaching. 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?

Dr. Klieb is a staff clinician at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, a University of Toronto Hospital, where he holds cross appointments with the Departments of Dentistry and Anatomic Pathology.  He is active in medical and dental post-graduate education and has several publications in peer-reviewed journals (link).
