Oral cancer screening is a routine part of maintaining long-term oral health. During your exam, we assess the soft tissues of the mouth for any unusual changes and document areas that may need monitoring.
At Fairmont Dentistry, we may use VELscope screening as an additional tool to support a more thorough evaluation.
Many soft tissue changes develop quietly and may not cause symptoms early on. Regular screening helps identify concerns sooner, when follow-up and treatment are often more straightforward.
VELscope uses a safe blue light to help highlight changes in soft tissue that may not be easily visible under normal lighting.
It does not diagnose oral cancer, but it can support early detection and help guide whether further assessment is needed.
Oral cancer screening is quick, non-invasive, and painless. It typically takes only a few minutes and is often completed during a routine dental exam.
If we notice an area that looks unusual, we will explain what we see, discuss next steps, and recommend appropriate follow-up if needed.
Our goal is to support your long-term health through careful monitoring and early identification of changes over time. Oral cancer screening is one of the simplest preventive steps we can take during regular dental visits.
