ORAL MUCOSAL SCREENING

Our office uses the new, advanced technology VELscope (Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope) screening light (a device based on technology developed by the BC Cancer Agency) to help detect early oral cancer.  

Signs of oral cancer can include:

•  A sore that bleeds easily or does not heal
• A colour change in oral tissue
• A lump, thickening, rough spot, crust, or small, eroded area
•  Pain, tenderness, or numbness anywhere in the mouth or on the lips
