All adults should have an annual VELscope or Trimira exam, because a quarter of all oral cancer victims are non-smokers, don’t drink, and have no lifestyle factors to heighten their oral cancer risk!
Here at Westchester Dental Care, we believe in investing in the technology to keep you healthy! That is why we offer the VELscope and Trimira exams when you see our dental hygienists. These two state of the art tools are weapons in our arsenal to keep you safe and healthy! The screening involves use of a special light to illuminate abnormal cells so that they appear distinctly different from the surrounding normal tissue. This allows us to see them long before we could see them with the naked eye.
We don’t hear much about oral cancer, but 34,000 patients will be diagnosed in 2010. Only half of patients diagnosed with oral cancer will survive longer than five years. Because it is often detected in the later stages, oral cancer’s mortality rate is higher than that of cervical cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, brain, liver, kidney, or ovarian cancer. Treatment for oral cancer often causes disfiguration and lessens the patient’s quality of life. When found and treated in the early stages the condition has an 80 to 90-percent cure rate, so call and schedule an appointment for your screening today at (914) 241-2242. It takes five minutes and it is absolutely painless. You owe it to yourself. The life you save may be your own!
We are dedicated to your overall health.
Sincerely,
Dr. Abel, Dr. Turturro, and the entire Westchester Dental Care Team
