An accomplished dentist with 20 years of experience, Dr. Aaron Farrokh has worked with patients from his own practice, East Cedar Dental, Inc., since 2012. Dr. Aaron Farrokh is a longtime member of the American Dental Association (ADA). In October 2018, the ADA announced a new policy that encourages dentists to educate their patients about the benefits of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. According to research from the American Cancer Society, HPV will account for 70 to 80 percent of the 50,000 new oral cancer diagnoses in 2018. ADA officials have pointed to HPV as the direct cause of the recent increase in oropharyngeal cancers. Getting vaccinated against the human papillomavirus can prevent a large number of these cancers from developing. ADA is joining with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in recommending the human papillomavirus vaccine for adolescents and adults aged 27-45 as determined by recent studies conducted by the CDC and the US Food and Drug Administration.
