VELscope

Oral cancer, when detected in the early stages, has an 80-90% survival rate. Unfortunately, most cases are found in later stages, resulting in a 45% mortality rate within five years of diagnosis. The good news? Advances in technology have greatly increased early detection for oral cancer with the VELscope. The better news? You have access to VELscope as a patient of Dr. Robin Santiago's.

The Velscope is a recently-developed, early oral cancer detection device that helps Dr. Santiago and her team ensure your good oral health. For decades, dentists relied on visual signs and the physical touch to find areas of potential cancer.

A Velscope screening takes only a matter of minutes. The Velscope emits a high-energy, blue light that causes the tissues in your mouth to fluoresce – an action similar to glowing. Then, the dental team views these tissues through special optical filters. Any irregular tissues emit different, usually darker fluorescence patterns, which alerts the dental team that a closer look is necessary. Aren't you excited to have a dental team that cares so deeply about your long-term health that they make technology such as the Velscope available to you?
