Oral cancer screening allows for the detection of cancer, often before the patient has any visible symptoms. This can help alert the patient to cancer at a very early stage, which enhances the ability to effectively treat the condition. Our office makes use of several technologies, including the VELscope system to perform this early screening. This allows painless screening during routine dental exams. If suspicious areas are noted, we can follow up with further tests in conjunction with local laboratories and specialists.
