Phoenix Dentist Offers Advanced Oral Cancer Screening Technology To Improve Early Detection
Dr. Lee Ann Brady draws attention to new screening technology for April Oral Cancer Awareness Month
GLENDALE, Ariz., April 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In just a couple extra minutes at your next routine dental examination, a special high-tech blue light can be used to identify precancerous and cancerous tissues that cannot be seen under white light. The VELscope VX® system used at Dr. Lee Ann Brady's practice is a new, FDA-approved, non-invasive and painless screening tool that helps diagnose oral cancer in its earliest stages.
"Each year over 30,000 Americans contract oral cancer. April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, the perfect time to remind everyone that you should get an annual oral cancer screening at your dental office. In my practice, we conduct the traditional oral cancer screening examination but offer the VELscope VX® system as a supplement to increase the chances of early detection," says Dr. Brady.
