Oral health exams
Oral health exams can save your life. Minuk Denture Clinic is proud to present the VELScope system!
ORAL CANCER KILLS ONE PERSON EVERY HOUR, 24 HOURS A DAY IN NORTH AMERICA
- The incidence of oral cancer increased 11% in the United States in 2007
- Unlike several other cancers, the survival rate for oral cancer has remained unchanged for decades
- The overall 5-year survival rate for oral cancer is 52%, but when discovered early, it increases to 80% - 90%
- Unfortunately, only 35% of oral cancer cases are diagnosed in the early stages. Why? Because there have been few advances made in screening techniques and there are significant limitations inherent to white light and chemiluminescence light examination of the oral mucosa
- Pre-malignant changes actually start below the surface, at the basement membrane. These changes may not be apparent to the naked eye until the disease progresses to the surface
In many cases, early detection is the key to survival. Our new VELScope scanner can provide the early warning you need!
SYSTEM FEATURES:
- Painless, non-invasive, with no rinses or stains required
- An examination with the VELscope® System takes only one or two minutes
