Dental Technology: VELscope Oral Cancer Screening

Detecting oral abnormalities early leads to more treatment options, potentially less invasive or radical treatments, and better patient outcomes. We use a technology called VELscope® Vx at our office. It provides a special light that facilitates Tissue Fluorescense Visualization: This lets us see before we can see with the naked eye. If we find anything unusual, we have the ability to document it with a digital photograph to compare with changes in the future. Here's some of the things we're looking for when we perform an oral cancer screening: Viral, fungal and bacterial infections Inflammation from a variety of causes (lichen planus and lichenoid reactions, allergy to amalgam fillings, etc) Squamous papillomas Salivary gland tumors Cancer and pre-cancer Other oral mucosal conditions
