How many little sores do we find in our mouths? Dozens? Hundreds? More?
Most of the time we ignore them, and they simply go away. But sometimes our mouths keep secrets. That’s why we use the VELscope Enhanced Oral Assessment system.

The VELscope helps us find oral disease early, including precancer and cancer, when it’s easier to treat. One of the VELscope’s most important tasks is to help locate areas that might, if not treated, progress to oral cancer.
