Oral Cancer Screenings

At this dental practice for general and cosmetic dentistry, we believe in providing our patients with the best diagnostic and preventative care. That’s why we offer an oral cancer screening Palantine procedure that utilizes the excellent ViziLite oral cancer screening system.

What is a ViziLite Oral Cancer Screening?

It’s important to get a regular dental exam at least twice a year. But it can be even more beneficial for your oral health (and your overall health) to get an occasional oral cancer screening.

We use the ViziLite system that provides a quick and easy way to examine your mouth for signs of precancerous cells and cancerous oral lesions. ViziLite also uses disposable products and technology to avoid cross-contamination.

With this system, we can detect and monitor abnormal areas, and better diagnose oral cancer. Without it, a dentist might not be able to identify these issues with a normal dental exam. The good thing is, we can take the pressure off by incorporating an oral cancer screening with your overall dental exam.

Reasons to Get an Oral Cancer Screening

We would recommend getting an oral cancer screening in the case of:

• Tobacco Use (of any kind)
• Alcohol Abuse
• Personal/Family History of Cancer
• Prolonged Sun Exposure
• Weakened Immune System
