ViziLite: Oral Cancer Screening

                           

Early detection of oral cancer begins in the dentist chair. This video demonstrates how a ViziLite cancer screening is performed using a vinegar-based mouth wash and a blue light to aid in detecting pre-cancerous cells.

Are you at risk? 
Risk factors include but are not limited to: 

• Tobacco use
• Chronic alcohol consumption
• Oral HPV 16/18 infection in increasing younger population,
• Age (40+)

An annual screening exam called ViziLite, used in conjunction with a standard visual exam, helps to identify and qualify abnormalities that can lead to cancer. Simply put, a ViziLite exam may turn your annual visit into a life saving experience.
