The dentist is often the first line of defense, because abnormalities caused by oral cancer can often be spotted during a regular cleaning appointment. However, not all abnormalities are visible to the naked eye, and that&rsquo;s where VELscope comes in. VELscope is a light-based detection system that\u00a0makes it easier to spot problem areas in the mouth and throat.<\/p>\n<h3>The Benefits Of\u00a0VELscope<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Sheth can use the VELscope Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System to check the oral tissues\u00a0during the course of a regular dental hygiene exam. It doesn&rsquo;t require any dyes to use, nor does it involve any lengthy procedures. It simply emits a harmless blue light that causes oral tissues to fluoresce, and Dr. Sheth will use to look into your mouth for signs of cancerous or pre-cancerous tissues.<\/p>\n<h3>Come Get Screened At Dental Care of Riverside<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven&rsquo;t been screened for oral cancer or even if you haven&rsquo;t had your regular cleaning appointment in a while, give us\u00a0a call at (951) 683-1600 or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalcareofriverside.net\/contact\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">send us a email<\/a>\u00a0so that we can schedule your next appointment.
