By this time we have all heard the celebrity news regarding Michael Douglas' oral cancer diagnoses and all the invasive treatments that came along with it.  We took to heart what Catherine Zeta Jones had to say at an interview with People's magazine, "It makes me furious that they didn't detect it earlier."

As your dental providers, we are proud to be able to provide you with an inclusive visual cancer screening upon your dental check-ups.  We strive to be certain we are doing the best we can and providing the best possible service to our patients.  We felt responsible to go above and beyond our call of duty and researched alternatives to the conventional visual cancer screening.  Medically speaking all things evolve and change at a rapid pace, for which we strive to stay current and informed.

After all, statistics show 70% of oral cancer lesions identified during the visual exam alone are detected in stages III and IV in which the 5-year survival rate is only 50%.  Upon this research, we have come across a five minute, non-invasive, reliable cancer screening known as Vizilite.

While cancer at any stage can be devastating; it is comforting to know oral cancer is 90% curable when diagnosed in its earlier stages.  While it is true that smoking and alcohol consumption are major risk factors, there is a growing risk factor among those over the age of 18 due to the increase in HPV incidences.  Come in for a visit with us and have peace of mind with Vizilite!
