Early detection is key in the fight against oral cancer, and your dentist often serves as the first point of defense. While some oral cancer indicators can be identified during routine dental checkups, not all signs are immediately visible. That's where VELscope comes into play. VELscope is an innovative, light-based screening tool designed to help detect potential issues in the mouth and throat that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Doctors and their dedicated hygiene team utilize the VELscope Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System to evaluate oral tissues during routine exams. This screening is available for all new patients and during regular hygiene appointments. The beauty of VELscope is that it's quick, noninvasive, and doesn't require dyes or complicated procedures. The device uses a safe blue light that causes oral tissues to fluoresce, helping the team easily detect any suspicious or potentially cancerous areas.
Don't hesitate to reach out if it's been a while since your last oral cancer screening or regular dental cleaning.
