Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer – are you at risk?

Did you know that one American dies every hour from oral cancer?

Oral cancer no longer targets only those over 40 years of age. Studies show that the HPV virus is responsible for occurrences of oral cancer in younger age groups as well.

Oral cancer does not have any obvious early signs that may be detected by the untrained eye. When discovered in later stages, 90% of the cases are malignant.

The good news is that there’s a 90% cure rate if oral cancer is detected early.

At Flax Dental, we are very pleased to provide VELscope, one of the most effective, FDA-approved oral cancer screening systems available today. VELscope uses incandescent light to instantly reveal abnormalities that may not be apparent or visible to the naked eye.

Not only could early detection literally save your life, it would avoid severe and disfiguring surgical treatment and decrease the chances of recurrence.

For the good of your health and wellness, protect yourself. Find out if you’re at risk for oral cancer. Contact us at Flax Dental, Atlanta for a painless, effective screening today.
