Oral Cancer Screening

The Impact of Tobacco on Oral Health

Oral cancer can affect anyone, but tobacco users are at a significantly higher risk compared to non-users. Chewing tobacco alone contains up to 3,000 chemicals, including substances commonly found in pesticides and embalming fluids. These chemicals can cause cellular changes in the tissues that may go unnoticed until they reach an advanced stage, making early detection crucial.

Utilizing Velascope for Enhanced Detection

Invisalign aligners are soft, comfortable, and wire-free, offering a snug fit without irritation. Using Velascope technology, a WHO-recognized tool with over 25 million global exams, we enhance oral health checks through natural tissue fluorescence. This painless, handheld device helps detect potential cancerous or pre-cancerous oral tissue changes early, ensuring effective, proactive care for your smile.

Further Examination and Biopsy Recommendations

If we identify any unusual changes during your examination, we may suggest a biopsy for detailed microscopic analysis by a qualified laboratory. This ensures accurate diagnosis, timely care, and early intervention, prioritizing your health and well-being with the most effective medical attention tailored to your needs.
