Oral Cancer screening with VELScope
One person every hour, every day, dies of oral cancer. When oral cancer is discovered in early stages, the survival rate is very high, but when discovered late (this is typically the case), the survival rate is very low. Because of this risk, Gentle Care Dental Center has invested in a state-of-the-art VELscope system. As part of our conventional oral cancer examination, it can literally help us discover potentially dangerous tissue that we might otherwise miss. Of course, the odds are that we won't find anything that concerns us. But if we do, the VELscope device will increase our odds of finding it early rather than late.
An oral cancer examination with a VELscope screening takes very little time, involves no pain or inconvenience, and is very affordable. Talk to Dr. Just about making it a part of your next hygiene appointment.
