What is the VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening Tool?
Our dentists at Living Wellness Dental use advanced tools and screening devices to monitor the health of your smile and to help with the early detection of oral cancer. VELscope® technology allows dentists to identify irregularities in the oral tissues. Where irregularities are observed, our Living Wellness professionals can urge you to seek medical attention from specialists who can properly diagnose the issue(s).
Early detection is one of the keys to stopping cancer in its tracks and improves one’s chance recovery dramatically. We believe strongly in investing in technologies that will support our focus on client care and the client experience.
