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!
Oral Cancer Screening Treatment Wilmington, De
“Several years ago, I was diagnosed with mild moderate sleep apnea after a 2-day study in a sleep clinic. My medical doctor had prescribed the CPAP machine for me. I’m sure there are others out there who have success with the CPAP, but after multiple problems getting used to it I finally gave up.
In the spring of 2012, during my normal teeth cleaning visit to Dr. Nibouar’s office, I was updating my medical history with Pam and shared my sleep apnea condition. She told me that Dr. Nibouar was able to make sleep apnea appliances. Now I wear the appliance every night and am having great success with it. Now I sleep so much better and don’t worry about having a stroke or the other medical problms that come from sleep apnea! I’m very thankful to Pam, for being a good listener and to Kat and Dr. Nibouar for making my guard and coaching me through this!”
