Did you know that Oral Cancer has a higher death rate then
Brain, Cervical, Kidney, Liver, Ovary and Testes Cancer as well as Hodgkin’s
disease? But did you also know Oral Cancer is 90% curable when found in its early
stages. Over one forth of oral cancer victims do not use tobacco, alcohol,
or have any other lifestyle factors.

Early detection of pre-cancerous tissue can minimize or
eliminate the potentially disfiguring effects of oral cancer and possible save
your life. Proven screening technologies such as Mammogram, Pap Swear, PSA and
Colonoscopy offer the same type of early detection of cancer.
Before we didn’t have the technology to detect Oral Cancer until we could
visually see it with the naked eye. Then it was diagnosed in the late stages
three or four; which lead to a five year survival rate of only 57 percent. Now
we have Vizilite Plus. It uses technology that has been proven successful in
identifying abnormalities, including precancerous and cancerous lesions. It
is the same chemiluminescent light technology that doubled cervical cancer dection.
In November 2001 the Food and Drug Administration cleared Vizilite Plus as an
adjunct to visual examination of the oral cavity. It still remains the only
medical device for use to diagnose Oral Cancer. Vizilite is safe as defined
by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because the chemicals are non-toxic
and biodegradable.
Clinical studies have determined that there are as many cases of oral
cancer caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), a sexually transmitted
disease, as there are HPV- related causes of cervical cancer.
Vizilite Plus is an easy and painless examination that gives this practice the
best chance to find any oral abnormalities you may have at the earliest possible
stage. It actually tastes like a bitter raspberry vingeratte salad dressing.
You swish with the solution for about one minute, then the lights are dimmed,
and the chemiluminescent light passes over the oral tissue that has been treated
with the rinse solution. Healthy tissue will absorb the light and appear dark;
any abnormal tissue will appear white.
Some of Oral Cancer’s famous victims include: Babe Ruth, Sigmund Freud,
Aaron Spelling, Humphrey Bogart, Lana Turner, Rod Stewart, Sammy Davis Jr, George
Harrison, Bill Blass, Eddie Van Halen, Alan King, Jack Klugman, John Prine,
Jim Thorpe and Mary Wells among many others.One person dies every hour from
Oral Cancer in the United States – and the mortality rate has remained
unchanged for more than 40 years; until now. A few minutes once a year is worth
it, for a healthier life. For more information contact our office or visit
