Oral Cancer Screening Treatment Wilmington, De

Oral Cancer Screenings Did you know that mouth cancer is one of the fastest-growing cancers? The truth is, every day, mouth cancer is diagnosed in about 100 individuals. That means that thousands of people in the United States will be newly diagnosed with oral cancer this year alone. The earlier we detect the disease, the better the odds for successful treatment. That’s why we perform oral cancer screenings at every visit, checking your mouth for any suspicious-looking swelling, bumps, or sores. We also use advanced VELscope technology to supplement our visual and manual screening. This non-invasive, handheld device emits blue light to expose abnormalities on your tongue and in your mouth that cannot be seen or felt. A VELscope screening takes less than two minutes, but it could save your life!

I wanted to take the time to thank you for your endless help throughout a very scary and trying time. Being able to talk to you while waiting for my biopsy results helped calm my nerves. I am so grateful for how things turned out. I know it would not have been as easy if I did not have all of the support. I am not sure how many people can say they look forward to going to the dentist but I certainly can.
