Oral Cancer Screening in Totowa, NJ
VELscope® Technology
Advanced Oral Cancer Detection for Better Health
At Best Choice Dental, your health and well-being are our top priorities. That’s why we use VELscope® technology, a state-of-the-art tool that enhances our ability to detect early signs of oral cancer. This advanced technology helps us identify potential issues before they become serious, giving you peace of mind and the best chance for successful treatment.
What is VELscope® Technology?
VELscope® is a non-invasive, hand-held device that uses fluorescence technology to detect abnormalities in your oral tissues. Unlike traditional visual exams, VELscope enhances our ability to spot changes that may not be visible to the naked eye, making it a powerful tool for early detection.
During the screening, the VELscope emits a safe blue light into your mouth. Healthy tissues reflect the light in a distinct way, while abnormal tissues appear differently, signaling the need for further evaluation.
Benefits of VELscope® Technology
Here are some of the benefits you will experience with this technology:
Early Detection
- VELscope helps identify potential signs of oral cancer and other abnormalities in their earliest stages, when treatment is most effective.
Non-Invasive
- The screening is quick, painless, and requires no dyes or invasive procedures.
Enhanced Accuracy
- By providing a more detailed view of your oral tissues, VELscope reduces the likelihood of missing subtle changes.
Peace of Mind
- Regular screenings with VELscope ensure your oral health is monitored closely, giving you confidence in your care.
