Oral Cancer Screening
Oral Cancer Screenings Can Save Your Life
When it comes to cancer, early detection can save your life. Nearly 50,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer every year. While most oral cancers are very treatable, delayed diagnosis can lead to serious complications.
Fortunately, VELscope® offers an easy, painless, and non-invasive way to identify oral cancers and other abnormalities. The VELscope® system uses a harmless blue light to help spot abnormal tissue before it’s visible to the naked eye.
VELscope® is fast, easy, effective, and it can even help save your life.
Your VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening
2 minutes. That’s all the time it takes to perform a VELscope® oral cancer screening during your next scheduled visit to Triunity dental.
At Triunity Family Dental, we’re such strong believers in the VELscope® system that we offer it free of charge to all of our patients as part of their routine dental care. As part of your screening, we’ll also talk with you about:
- Factors that can increase your risk of oral cancers, including family history, smoking and use of other tobacco products
- Symptoms of oral cancer and warning signs you can watch out for at home
- How you can maximize your dental health and overall well-being
- Your desire to maintain a natural, white, and healthy smile for a lifetime.
