Naperville Dental Specialists Encourages Early Detection Screening for Oral Cancer Awareness Month

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - April 13, 2022 - PRLog -- April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month and the team at Naperville Dental Specialists wants to remind patients that early screening and detection can save lives. According to the American Cancer Society, oral and oropharyngeal cancer — cancer of the mouth and upper throat — will affect approximately 54,000 Americans in 2022. But regular screening, early detection, and early treatment increases the chances of successfully treating oral cancer and a return to healthy oral functioning.

Naperville Dental Specialists offers comfortable, safe oral screening with VELscope® technology. Quick and precise, screening with VELscope detects abnormalities, including cancerous and pre-cancerous lesions in oral soft tissue not visible to the naked eye. Most importantly, screening with VELscope reveals lesions in their earliest stages, when they are still localized and more easily treatable.

VELscope is an innovative diagnostic tool that uses a safe, blue-spectrum light instead of dyes or radiation. At Naperville Dental Specialists, it's one of the many cutting-edge investments used to provide accurate and comfortable patient care, with stunning results.
