We will first have you come into our office to sit comfortably in one of our operatories. We will then use a small handheld device, known as VELscope, to check for cancer lesions within the mouth. The device works by emitting a blue light that essentially illuminates any areas within the mouth that could be cancerous. If lesions are found, we will typically recommend a biopsy to see if the areas are cancerous. We will recommend having a VELscope screening done at each of your examinations as a way to keep your mouth healthy.
If you would like to learn more about VELscope technology and how it can work for you, call us today so that we can get you in for a convenient consultation appointment.
