Add oral cancer to the short list of preventable cancers

On a global scale, new cases of oral cancer exceed 481,000 each year. An oral cancer victim dies every hour of the day in the United States. The fight against oral cancer starts with the thousands of oral health care professionals who are now able to help stop oral cancer before it starts. Through routine “BrushTesting” of tiny spots, precancerous lesions can be diagnosed and removed and oral cancer can be prevented. You will also find that what protects your patients and your practice also increases hygiene production. Together, we can reverse the tragedies that occur when our friends and families are touched by diagnosis of oral cancer.

Dr. Frazar and her team are now using the Veloscope which allows the hygienist to evaluate any suspicious lesions not visible with the naked eye.  Any suspicious locations are then brush biopsied to rule out any early signs of oral cancer.  This procedure takes about 10 minutes for a lifetime of protection.  If you would like more information about this exam, please contact Jessica at 713-668-7137.
