Oral cancer screenings in Wilmington, DE, are vital, which is why we perform them at every dental visit. We know that with early detection, you typically stand a much better chance of beating oral cancer and preventing its spread.
Unfortunately, not every dentist offers oral cancer screenings, and some give only a cursory look at your teeth and gums, searching for lesions or other tell-tale signs. At Bruce E. Matthew, DDS, PA, we are happy to offer comprehensive oral cancer screenings at every checkup using the Identafi 3000.
The Identafi 3000 is a small instrument able to detect early oral cancers. It is not a painful or invasive process but relies on wavelength technology and ultra-violet light to find and highlight irregularities in oral tissues. This allows us to better diagnose early oral cancer.
If you have a sore in the mouth or on the lip that doesn’t heal or worsens, it’s essential to talk to your dentist or physician sooner rather than later.
