The Vizilite Plus Oral Cancer screening tool enhances the Doctor's and Hygienist's ability to detect potentially abnormal tissue changes in the oral environment. The Doctor strongly encourages all patients, regardless of risk factors, to have the Vizilite Plus enhanced screening completed atleast annually.

The test, which is performed after a room-light visual examination is done, requires rinsing with a vinagrette type solution, after which, the oral soft tissues are examined using a chemiluminescent light, whish aids in detecting potentially abnormal tissue.

If there is a positive finding, a Toludene blue stain is used to stain the affected area so that a digital photograph can be taken and forwarded to the specialist, if a biopsy is warranted. If you have any questions about this recommended screening adjunct please do not hesistate to ask, your life could depend on it.
