A healthy future starts with early detection

Regular cancer screenings are key for early detection and treatment. Roswell oral cancer screenings at our practice are performed using advanced tools like OralID.

 

OralID fluorescence technology helps identify abnormalities, including oral cancer and pre-cancer. This innovative device improves traditional screenings by highlighting suspicious areas that may not be visible to the naked eye.

FAQ about oral cancer screenings

What’s an oral cancer screening?

It’s a procedure to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth. The goal is to detect oral cancer early when it is most treatable.

What is fluorescence technology in oral cancer screenings?

Fluorescence technology, such as OralID, uses a special blue light to make abnormal tissues in the mouth fluoresce differently than healthy tissues. This helps identify mucosal abnormalities, including potential oral cancer and pre-cancerous lesions, that may not be visible during a regular exam.

How does fluorescence technology work?

During the screening, we shine a blue light into the mouth. Healthy tissues typically appear green under the light, while abnormal tissues appear dark. This contrast helps us identify areas that may need further examination.

Why is early detection of oral cancer important?

Early detection of oral cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival. It allows for less invasive treatments, reduces the risk of metastasis, and helps maintain a better quality of life.

Is the fluorescence screening process safe?

Yes. It involves shining a harmless light into the mouth and doesn’t involve radiation or invasive procedures.

Thank you to Dr. Hood and her entire team! So very personable with expert care. I had veneers added to my two chipped front teeth. They look great! The new teeth match my existing teeth flawlessly.

My time with Roswell Dental Care has been nothing short of amazing. I have significant anxiety within general dentist work, and the whole team is so considerate and patient. I have a long dental repair plan in place and know I can trust their team the whole way!
