ViziLite Oral Cancer Screening

Early detection saves lives!

Most people don’t realize that oral cancer claims more lives than Hodgkin’s, skin cancer, and cervical cancer. About 34,000 Americans will be diagnosed this year, and half will die within five years. When oral cancer is diagnosed early, a person has better than an 80% chance of survival. Dr. Cheung is committed to oral cancer awareness and early detection. As your trusted family dentist, Dr. Cheung assess your entire oral health, including screening soft tissues for oral cancer.

For early detection, our office uses ViziLite, an innovative system that uses a special light and dye to make oral cancer cells visible before they surface. You’ll rinse your mouth with a special solution. After dimming the room lights, the ViziLite wand will be used to illuminate any suspicious lesions in your mouth. If Dr. Cheung sees reason for concern, he may order a biopsy to be sent to a lab for examination. ViziLite may be covered by medical or dental insurance (code CDT-5 D0431).
