For Your Peace of Mind

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death in this country, and oral cancer contributes to these sad statistics.

In order to combat oral cancer death, we have invested in an early detection system called “Goccles”. They may look silly, but their performance is anything but. By wearing these green-lensed glasses coupled with using our blue curing light, early cancers and precancerous lesions can be spotted. Normal tissue appears green glowing. Any abnormal and suspicious areas will, in contrast, be dark. We can then refer a patient for a biopsy to confirm (or hopefully rule out) cancer. Caught early, these cancers are quite curable, so time is of the essence.

This oral cancer screening is completely painless and takes but a few minutes. If you are a smoker, chewing tobacco user, have a familial history of cancer or suffer from chronic dry mouth or notice any changes in your mouth, let Dr. Mike know. Those silly looking glasses may save your life!
