Screening For Oral Cancer

ViziLite™ chemiluminescent technology

Now we have now wellness exam technology that dramatically improves our ability to screen for oral abnormalities that could lead to cancer. Because early detection is essential to increase chances for successful treatment, we always check your whole mouth (tongue, lips, check lining, and gums). We have acquired ViziLite™, a state-of-the-art, painless, non-invasive screening tool that helps us to see what we can't see with the unaided eye during your routine oral cancer checkup.

What can you expect during a ViziLite examination? We'll ask you to rinse vigorously with a safe, n on-toxic solution for 30-60 seconds. The solution tastes a bit vinegary. After you rinse, we'll dim the lights and take a look inside your mouth with a special light that looks much like a glow-stick. The entire procedure takes only about ten minutes. All of the screening kits are discarded after use, so you will be the only patient ever tested with that kit.

Because the chemiluminescent technology will highlight any surface irregularities including normal scarring from chewing or rubbing on your gums or cheek, we mark everything down on a map or atlas of your mouth. This gives us a base line for future reference.

Paoli cosmetic dentistry We want all of our patients to have a bright and smiling future. And because in its earliest stages, oral cancer usually causes no pain or discomfort, we will perform this test for you every year.
