Family and Cosmetic Dentistry Serving the Northlake Tucker Area : Oral Cancer Detection
A Simple Solution to Identify and Eliminate a Silent Killer
Most people are surprised to learn that one American dies every hour from oral cancer - a death rate that has remained virtually unchanged for more than 40 years.
In fact, recent statistics published by the American Cancer Society indicate that while the incidence and death rates for cancer overall have decreased, the death rates for oral cancer have increased. Once it is in the later stages, oral cancer treatment can often result in disfiguring effects on patients, seriously compromising their quality of life.
Early detection and diagnosis can make a tremendous difference. Most oral cancer is 90% curable when found in its early stages. And fortunately, Henderson Mill Dental Care offers the ViziLite Plus detection method.
ViziLite Plus is an easy, painless procedure that essentially involves a mouth rinsing and observation under specially designed lighting by our dentists who can then quickly identify abnormal tissue that might develop into oral cancer.
If you feel you might benefit from a screening, contact our office today at (770) 496-0496 to set up an early detection screening.
