Vizilite

Our practice continually looks for advances to ensure that we are providing the optimum level of oral health care to our patients. We are concerned about oral cancer and look for it in every patient.

One American dies every hour from oral cancer. Late detection of oral cancer is the primary reason that both the incidence and mortality rates of oral cancer continue to increase. As with most cancers, age is the primary risk factor for oral cancer. Tobacco and alcohol use are other major predisposing risk factors but more than 25% of oral cancer victims have no such lifestyle risk factors.

We have incorporated Vizilite Plus into our oral screening standard of care. We find that by using Vizilite Plus along with our normal standard oral cancer examination, can improve the ability to identify suspicious or hidden areas at their earliest stages. Vizilite Plus is a simple and painless examination that could easily save you life. The Vizilite Plus exam will be offered to you annually.
