ORAL CANCER IS ON THE RISE
Oral cancer is often discovered in late stage development.. The American Cancer Society has indicated that while most other cancers have decreased in incidence and death, oral cancer has increased by 5.5% and the death rate has increased by 1.5%.
Oral cancer treatment often results in disfiguring effects on patients, and can often compromise their quality of life. Early diagnosis makes a tremendous difference in life expectancy and oral cancer is 90% curable when found in it’s early stages.
That’s why the VisaLite Plus exam has been developed. The VisaLite Plus exam can help your dentist and your hygienist identify abnormal tissue that may develop into oral cancer. It’s a comprehensive screening procedure done right in the dental chair.
VisaLite Plus is painless, fast and could help save your life!
