At Avid Dental Lindenhurst, we want to provide our patients with complete oral cancer screenings during our examinations. That is why we are proud to offer VELscope.
what is velscope?
VELscope is a system that allows us to have an in-depth, and visual examination of your oral health. This oral cancer screening device allows our team to identify oral cancers that we would not normally be able to detect.
Benefits
There are a multitude of benefits that oral cancer screening with VELscope offers patients just like you:

How Does velscope Work?
VELscope works by emitting blue light molecules into your oral tissues. This blue light, also known as “fluorophores” can change from blue, to green, to yellow indicating oral abnormalities that cannot be picked up by the naked eye.
