Remember the days of old when the Dentist looked into your mouth and said “everything is OK?”   Now he has more than a visual exam to help him discover any abnormal cell growth in your mouth.  VisiLite Plus® is a new procedure that highlights any abnormal cells with a dye that shows up under a special light.

Simply rinse your mouth with the VisiLite Plus® solution and then the hygienist uses a special light which illuminates any cells that could be abnormal.  These cells could be benign or the start of cancer but within a few minutes you know whether everything is A-OK or something needs to be followed up with additional tests.

The procedure is comfortable, painless and can be lifesaving.  Just a few minutes from your busy schedule can give you peace of mind. “25% of oral cancers occur in people who don’t smoke and have no other lifestyle risk factors.  Virtually everyone is at risk for oral cancer, including YOU.”

We do preventive screening tests for Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Cervical Cancer and now we can act proactively against Oral Cancer.  It’s affordable and takes less than a half hour to complete.  (920) 725-0810
