Cancer can be an intimidating thought, but there are instances when being safe requires objectivity and anticipation. As everyone knows, early diagnosis and prompt treatment are the best ways to fight cancer. With our VELSCOPE® oral cancer screenings, we at Bridgeview Family Dental can be your first line of protection.
Why Do I Need an Oral Cancer Screening?
Over 54,000 people are affected by oral cancer annually, and it causes almost 10,000 fatalities. Although rare, genetic and environmental variables can enhance your risk. You should think about getting a dental exam and screening once a year if you have human papillomavirus (HPV), smoke, or consume alcohol frequently.
What is VELSCOPE®?
VELSCOPE® is a cutting-edge tool for identifying the early warning signals of oral cancer. This system employs a specific light to show oral cancer symptoms, such as tumors, reddish and white areas, or sores, allowing us dentists to see signs that would otherwise be imperceptible to the human eye. While not offering a conclusive diagnosis, the VELSCOPE® light is an essential weapon in the fight against oral cancer.

- Non-intrusive screening
- Quick procedure
