Prevent Oral Cancer

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 www.vizilite.com.
