ABSTRACT
With the incidence of skin cancer increasing in the United States, the role of dental providers in noting suspicious skin lesions as well as advising patients in proper sun-protective strategies is more important than ever. However, the public conversation about proper sun protection is often laden with misunderstandings and pervasive myths. This article reviews the most common types of skin cancer, elucidates the differences among the types of UV radiation, and offers updated recommendations for proper sunscreen use along with adjunctive sun-protective strategies.
