Oral Cancer Screening

Smiles For Life now offers a way to detect oral cancer in its earliest stages when it's easiest to treat!

While any form of cancer should be taken seriously, treatment of oral cancer is easier and highly effective when it's caught in its earliest stages.  Treatment of early stage oral cancer is less invasive and over 90% successful, which means that detecting it as soon as possible has a big payoff!  The only problem with this scenario is that most cases of oral cancer are difficult to detect early on.  In fact, only around 30% of cases of oral cancer can be detected through a conventional visual examination before they reach an advanced stage.  The good news is that our ViziLite Plus exam makes it much easier for our doctors to see malignancies and tissue abnormalities before they reach that advanced stage!

The ViziLite Plus exam provides a simple, convenient, and painless way to vastly increase the probability of detecting early stage oral cancer!  First, one of our staff will have you rinse out your mouth with a special solution.  Then the lights in the room will be dimmed and our doctors will examine your mouth using a specially designed light that reacts with the rinse to make tissue abnormalities in your mouth much easier to see!

Having us administer the ViziLite Plus exam is a good idea even if you don't feel you have any of the risk factors often associated with oral cancer.  After all, according to a report from the American Dental Association, more than 25% of oral cancer cases are found in people without risk factors such as smoking!

Getting a VisiLite Plus exam through Smiles For Life is a quick and simple way to increase your chances of surviving oral cancer, so call us at 952-888-2300 today to set up an appointment for this important exam!
