with us
The team at Smiles at Randolph takes oral cancer screening very seriously. This is why we look for indications of oral cancer before you experience any symptoms. Receiving a screening during your bi-annual visit and dental cleaning assures an opportunity to detect any early signs of oral cancer when treatment is easy.
Your oral cancer screening takes just a few minutes and is performed during your dental cleaning and exam. Most oral cancers occur on the tongue and floor of the mouth so your dentist will examine these areas carefully.
Your Smiles on Randolph dentist will look for lesions, areas of Leukoplakia (an abnormal white patch of cells) and areas of Erythroplakia (an abnormal red patch of cells) as these lesions may be precancerous or cancerous.
Velscope is a fantastic new technology that uses light to identify areas inside of the mouth that might have abnormal tissue. With Velscope, we are more likely to catch oral cancer in stages 1 and 2, versus later stages than with just a visual examination. It is important to note that this tool is for screening and is not a diagnostic tool. If any suspicious lesions are identified, we will send you to a specialist for diagnosis.
