Oral Cancer Prevention – VELscope
- The examination takes only 2 minutes
- Painless and non-invasive
- Helps detect changes in the oral mucosa at an early stage
Oral cancer may develop without any symptoms in its early stages. This is why prevention and early detection of suspicious changes are so important. An examination using VELscope is quick, painless, and can easily be included as part of a routine dental check-up.
Everything You Need to Know About Oral Cancer Prevention with VELscope
WHY PREVENTION MATTERS
Oral cancer can be difficult to detect in its early stages because patients may not experience any symptoms. Early diagnosis can significantly affect subsequent treatment options – the earlier a suspicious change is detected, the less tissue may need to be removed if surgical treatment is required.
VELSCOPE EXAMINATION
VELscope allows the dentist to examine the oral mucosa more thoroughly and identify areas that may appear inconspicuous during a standard visual examination.
The examination takes approximately 2 minutes and is completely painless and non-invasive. No tissue staining or rinsing solutions are required, and the examination can easily be combined with a routine preventive dental check-up.
HOW THE EXAMINATION WORKS
VELscope emits blue light, which the dentist uses to illuminate the oral mucosa. Healthy tissue responds with characteristic fluorescence and appears green during the examination. Abnormally altered tissue may appear different, helping the dentist identify areas that require closer attention or further examination.
2 MINUTES FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND
The entire examination takes only a few minutes and places virtually no burden on the patient. It is therefore a valuable addition to regular preventive dental care.
Regular check-ups can help detect changes in the oral cavity at a stage when the patient may not yet notice any symptoms.
Oral Cancer Prevention – VELscope - FAQ
Is the examination painful?
No. The examination is painless and non-invasive. It does not require tissue staining or special rinsing solutions.
Why should I have the examination if I have no symptoms?
Changes in the oral cavity may develop without symptoms in their early stages. A preventive examination can therefore help identify a potential problem before the patient notices any changes.
Does VELscope replace a routine dental check-up?
No. VELscope is a supplementary examination that can be included as part of a regular dental check-up.
