Boca Raton Dentist Uses Latest Technology for Oral Cancer Screenings

BOCA RATON, Fla. - Aug. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Oral cancer is one of the most deadly and overlooked diseases in the world. One North American dies of oral cancer every hour. It has claimed more than twice as many lives as cervical cancer. To help prevent further cases, Boca Raton dentist Dr. Steven M. London is now using the innovative VELscope oral cancer screening system. The VELscope is a revolutionary tool in preventative dentistry, which utilizes a wireless, handheld scope that uses natural tissue fluorescence visualization to help dentists discover several types of abnormal tissue in the oral cavity.

An award winning dentist in Boca Raton, Dr. Steven M. London is one of the leading local practitioners in the use of the VELscope oral cancer screening system. For nearly 20 years, Dr. London has utilized the latest technology for the following types of dentistry in Boca Raton:

Unlike most types of cancer, the number of new cases of oral cancer has not declined. Located usually in the tonsils and the base of the tongue, it is often associated with the sexually-transmitted papilloma virus or HPV.  Because oral cancer can strike anyone, it is highly recommended for all adults to receive an oral cancer exam at least once a year.
