VELscope - the dental exam that could save your life

Oral Cancer kills 1 person every hour

 

24 hours each day.

 

Our goal is to reduce that number.

The VELscope oral cancer screening is the most powerful tool available for assisting in the discovery of oral abnormalities. The VELscope's distinctive blue-spectrum light causes the soft tissues of the mouth to naturally fluoresce. Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinctive patterns — patterns that are visibly disrupted by trauma or disease. Using the VELscope, a wide variety of oral abnormalities can be discovered — often before they're visible to the unassisted eye.

Discovering soft tissue abnormalities is particularly important in the fight against oral cancer. Because the VELscope  assists in early detection, cancer can be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives through less invasive, more effective treatment.

Used on a regular basis, the VELscope helps our office to find a wide variety of soft-tissue abnormalities, allowing practices to aspire to an advanced level of patient care. The VELscope is:

• completely safe
• simple to use
• no unpleasant rinses or stains
• entire exam in about two minutes.

VELscope oral cancer screenings play a crucial role in saving lives. Make the investment in your health by having a VELscope oral cancer screening performed. If not for yourself, for the ones you love.
