Oral screening offered at Las Sendas Dental Health

written by Dr. Martin Farnsworth December 3, 2013

dentist officeEvery hour, one American dies from oral cancer, and the growing number of cases diagnosed are not caused from smoking or alcohol abuse.

Oral cancer deaths are now higher than deaths from cervical, testicular, laryngeal or thyroid cancer. Research now shows the human papilloma virus, also referred to as HPV, is being linked to oral cancer at an alarming rate. Oral cancer is detectable and treatable if caught in the early stages. The bad news is, when most oral cancers are detected, it is in the later stages.

The survival rate jumps to 80 percent when oral cancer is caught early. Many avenues are now available to assist in detecting oral cancer at the early stages. One of the newest technologies cleared by the Federal Drug Administration for assistance in detecting cancerous and precancerous lesions is the Velscope™ oral cancer screening system. This LED dental device is used to aid in the detection of precancerous and cancerous lesions.

We are pleased to announce Las Sendas Dental Health now has the enhanced ability to detect oral cancer at the early stages by routinely offering the Velscope™ screening service to our patients. It is recommended this life-saving screening be performed once a year, as is the case with all other annual exams. This screening is quite simple and takes only a couple of minutes. It is completely painless.

We are even more excited to say we were able to detect an abnormal lesion on one of our own team members, which has been biopsy-confirmed to be benign. Yet, it is an abnormal condition we now will be able to watch annually for any changes.   

To schedule an appointment for your life-saving oral cancer screening, call our office today at (480) 283-5854. You also can check out our Web site at www.lassendasdentalhealth.com. Las Sendas Dental Health is located at 2947 N. Power Road, Suite 103.
