VELscope®
Detect any cancerous or pre-cancerous issues
 
Detecting Mouth Cancer
 
At each visit, we evaluate many aspects of your overall health including a visual exam of all areas of your mouth. Most people are surprised at the large amount of surface area that lines the mouth. Did you know over 30 square inches of tissue make up the oral cavity!
 
While oral cancer can afflict anyone, tobacco users put themselves at a significantly higher risk than non-users. Chewing tobacco contains up to 3,000 different chemicals, including the same compounds used in pesticides and embalming fluid. Cellular changes below the surface aren't always detectable until they've advanced to a critical stage. That's why we rely on the VELscope® to help us examine the tissue of both users and non-users of tobacco.
 
VELscope® is a wireless, handheld device that produces a natural tissue fluorescence that significantly enhances our visual exam. Recognized by the World Health Organization, this award-winning technology has conducted more than 25 million exams. Easy to use and painless, VELscope® gives us vital information in our quest for early detection of any cancerous or pre-cancerous changes.
 
If we suspect any unusual changes in your mouth tissue, we may suggest a biopsy and microscopic analysis by a qualified lab.
