Your chances of overcoming oral cancer greatly increase with early detection and we offer you the revolutionary VELscope oral cancer screening system at your UBC dentist, Wesbrook Village Dental Centre.
Everyone – not just smokers – can be at risk for oral cancer, so it’s extremely important to get screened for oral cancer at Wesbrook Village Dental Centre, your UBC dentist.
What is VELscope?
The VELscope Oral Cancer Screening system was created by the British Columbia Cancer Agency in collaboration with the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Essentially, the VELscope is a hand-held device that can detect abnormal tissues in your mouth/gums early.
VELscope highlights any abnormalities that our oral health care professionals at your UBC dentist can investigate. VELscope is currently the single non-invasive device on the market which has been clinically proven to detect oral cancer early.
VELscope is a pain-free procedure and only takes a couple of minutes. If you haven’t had an oral cancer screening using VELscope, contact Wesbrook Village Dental Centre, your UBC dentist, for your VELscope oral cancer exam and fight oral cancer.
