VELscope Oral Cancer Screening
Our patients' health is extremely important to us. For this reason, we offer VELscope oral cancer screening. Oral cancer is one of the few types of cancer that hasn't experienced a significantly reduced mortality rate in the past 30 years. One North American dies of oral cancer every hour of every day. That's often because oral cancer is discovered in late stages about 70% of the time. And, importantly, oral cancer does not just affect smokers.
VELscope helps us screen for cancerous and precancerous lesions by looking deeply into oral tissue. The annual VELscope exam takes just a few minutes, involves no pain or inconvenience for patients, and can help us discover dangerous tissue we may not otherwise see. In just two minutes, with no rinses, stains or discomfort, a VELscope examination allows us to improve our assessment of your overall oral health.
Make sure that your mouth is as healthy as it can be. The next time you visit Dr. Roberts, ask for a VELscope exam. Contact our office to learn more about VELscope oral cancer screening or visit www.velscope.com.
