Vizilite™ - Oral Cancer screening

Oral cancer is not always detectable by the naked eye, especially in the early phase. Vizilite™ will help expose these non-detectable areas for early on treatment and elimination. The earlier of detection will mean better removal success rates as well as easier procedures to tolerate. Vizilite™ is a two phase screening process. The first phase is simply a mouth rinse that is squished in the mouth for 30 to 60 seconds. An illuminated light source is then use to determine if any areas fluoresce back. If areas do react, a second screening process is performed which is a series of swaps. If a positive result for both phases, then referral to oral surgeon is recommended to biopsy and treats the suspected area. Individuals that are smokers and/or drinkers are at an increase risk. Since it is viral related, any individual is at risk. Therefore, it is recommended that any individual over the age of 18 be tested annually. The naked eyeball test is not enough anymore.

Oral CDx™

When we have a suspicious growth or lesion in the mouth that has been there more than 2 weeks, we usually want to know what it is. Oral CDx™ is a painless cellular test. You simply wipe a brush along the suspicious area then smear those picked up cells on a slide. This slide is sent to a pathologist who looks at the slide and give back their recommended treatment. The pathologist portion usually gets paid thru your medical insurance. OralBrushBiopsy.com/
