Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it’s caught early. At the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry we use special screening technology that has proven successful in identifying soft tissue abnormalities, which in combination with a regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure for our patients.
An annual Oral Cancer Screening is painless and fast, and could help save your life. Using a specially designed light technology, we can detect changes in your mouth that will usually go undetected with the naked eye. This procedure has demonstrated in numerous studies to improve the ability to visualize mucosal lesions and initially identify clinically suspicious lesions.
Oral cancer is far too often discovered in late stage development, the primary reason for the consistently high death rate. Oral cancer treatment often results in disfiguring effects on patients, and can seriously compromise their quality of life. Early detection and diagnosis can make a tremendous difference in life expectancy; oral cancer is 90% curable when found in its early stages.
