VELscope® Oral Cancer Screening: Early Detection for Lifesaving Care

At Georgia Dental Wellness, we’re committed to safeguarding your oral and overall health with the most advanced diagnostic technologies. Dr. Supreet Kaur and our team utilize VELscope® oral cancer screening, a non-invasive method designed to detect oral cancer at its earliest stages. Early detection is crucial, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment and recovery. For detailed information on our VELscope® screenings in Marietta, GA, or to schedule your appointment, please contact our office today.

Oral cancer encompasses a range of cancers affecting the lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, sinuses, and both the hard and soft palates. When identified early, oral cancer treatment can be highly effective. However, many cases are not discovered until they’ve advanced to more serious stages, complicating treatment and reducing survival rates. Our dedication to early detection and intervention aims to alter this trend, providing each patient with the best possible prognosis.

During your routine dental visits, in addition to a comprehensive cleaning and exam, our team conducts an oral cancer screening with the VELscope system. This screening is a critical step in identifying signs of oral cancer, even before symptoms become apparent to the patient.

We encourage our patients to be vigilant about their oral health and to be aware of the following symptoms, which could indicate oral cancer:

• Persistent sore throat or the sensation of something caught in the throat
• Unexplained bleeding in the mouth
• Sores on the face, neck, or mouth that bleed easily and do not heal within two weeks
• Loss of feeling, pain, or numbness in the face, neck, or mouth
• Ear pain without loss of hearing
• Lumps, bumps, or rough spots in the mouth
• Red, white, or speckled patches in the mouth
• Difficulty with chewing, speaking, or swallowing
• Changes in dental fit or denture alignment

Our goal at Georgia Dental Wellness is not only to treat oral health issues as they arise but to prevent them wherever possible. The VELscope oral cancer screening is a key component of our preventive care strategy. If you experience any of the symptoms listed above or have concerns about your oral health, we urge you to reach out to us immediately.

Don’t wait for symptoms to arise. Contact Dr. Supreet Kaur and the caring team at Georgia Dental Wellness to schedule your VELscope oral cancer screening. Together, we can take proactive steps toward ensuring your health and peace of mind.
