Elliott Dental uses the proven, safe and effective Oral ID, Oral Cancer Detection Device.
This optically based technology called, “fluorescence technology” uses a special blue light (435–460 nm) that provides the clinician an aid in visualization of oral cancer, pre-cancer and other abnormal lesions. It’s a mircle of modern science. Now we can actually “see” the cancer, pre-cancer, or other damaged tissues “glow.” These tissues can then be further evaluated. It’s quick, painless, and gives you peace of mind.
Yes, it’s cancer. At first it might just look like a “worn spot” or maybe you bit your tongue, but with the help of the Oral ID light, the cancer cells change color, and the cancer is easily identified. In this case, the oral cancer was identifed as a result of the HPV virus, and oral sex practices. If you are sexually active, we highly recommend an annual oral cancer examination including the Oral ID light.
