The VELscope screening system allows your doctor to conduct a much more detailed exam of your mouth. Using a special light source, the doctor is able to view oral tissues through a scope, illuminating healthy tissue and showing any abnormalities in a contrasting darker hue.
If abnormal tissues are detected, your doctor can determine what further actions are required to confirm whether or not there is a cancer diagnosis. A simple, pain free brush biopsy can be conducted or further screening can be scheduled to see if the abnormalities disappear on their own.
Discover Dental uses VELscope Oral Cancer Screening as a valuable tool in diagnosing oral cancer to ensure early successful treatment for patients.
