Our team at Wesbrook Village Dental Centre pride ourselves on making sure every patient’s mouth is as healthy as can be.
But why stop at root canals and whitening?
Wesbrook Village Dental is proud to carry VELscope Oral Cancer Screening devices.Oral cancer can be a potentially deadly type of cancer. If detected early, the survival rate for patients is a high 80%-90%, but if oral cancer is detected too late, it only leaves patients with a 55% chance of living for more than 5 years after detection.
VELscope is a handheld device, completely noninvasive and pain-free, which shines a blue light to highlight any abnormal tissue or legions in the mouth.
It takes just 5 minutes, and not only does it highlight the symptoms for cancer, but any other abnormalities in your tissue, which means it’s not just fighting cancer, but bacterial growth and even fungus as well.
Early detection is the strongest defense against oral cancer, so we’re urging you to book an appointment today.
