ViziLite Plus as part of a comprehensive oral screening

Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it's caught early. That's why the ViziLite Plus exam has been developed. ViziLite Plus uses technology that has proven successful in identifying soft tissue abnormalities in other areas of the body. A ViziLite Plus exam is particularly important if you are at increased risk for developing oral cancer.

The ViziLite Plus exam can help your dentist or hygienist identify abnormal tissue, that might develop into oral cancer.

An annual ViziLite Plus exam, in combination with a regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure for patients at increased risk for oral cancer. The ViziLite Plus exam is painless and fast, and could help save your life.

ViziLite Plus is performed immediately following a regular visual examination

* First, you will be instructed to rinse with a cleansing solution
* Next, the overhead lighting will be dimmed.
* Then, your dental professional will examine your mouth using ViziLite Plus, a specially designed light technology.

New Year Dental Hygiene Tips

The American Dental Association offers tips on increasing oral longevity and caring for your teeth. As you begin the new year, I am going to bullet point some ways for you to care for your teeth.



Brushing

* Brush twice a day.
* Use a soft bristled brush that is approved by the ADA.
* Replace your toothbrush when it frays or every 2-4 months.
* If you have trouble brushing, using an electric toothbrush is also effective.

Flossing

* You can use either dental floss or interdental cleaners.
* Floss once a day.

Water

“Consuming optimally fluoridated water throughout life helps prevent tooth decay no matter how old you are. If you choose bottled water, check the label for fluoride content.”

Dental Visits

Make sure to visit your dentist for all scheduled appointments.

HPV increasingly causes oral cancer in men

The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women is poised to become one of the leading causes of oral cancer in men, according to a new study.


"If current trends continue, within the next 10 years there may be more oral cancers in the United States caused by HPV than tobacco or alcohol,"

Oral Cancer Facts:
According to The Oral Cancer Foundation, someone dies from oral cancer every hour of every day in the United States alone. Over 300,000 new cases of oral cancer are diagnosed every year, worldwide. This serious dental disease which pertains to the mouth, lips or throat is often highly curable if diagnosed and treated in the early stages

Oral Cancer Signs & Symtoms:
Unfortunately, in its early stages, oral cancer can go unnoticed. Oral Cancer could look like a common ulcer, cold sore or a discoloration of tissue. Fortunately, your dentist can see or feel if a lesion looks cancerous. If you have any type of lesion in your mouth, or on your lips, that doesn’t heal within two weeks, or a difficulty in swallowing for a prolonged period of time, it is very important to see your dentist right away.

Giving up tobacco is the single most important thing you can do for your health and the health of those around you

Giving up tobacco is the single most important thing you can do for your health and the health of those around you. Even if you do not smoke in their presence, you exhale fine particles of tobacco that cause inflammation.

By quitting smoking, you’ll make yourself at least 5 years younger: fewer wrinkles, better orgasms, less days in the hospital and rehab with heart attacks and strokes. You’ll feel more energetic and save a boatload of money along the way. It will save your life; it will change your life.
