What is the VELscope® oral cancer screening tool?
Our dentists at Living Wellness Dental Dorchester use advanced tools and screening devices to monitor the health of your smile and to help with the early detection of oral cancer. VELscope® technology allows dentists to diagnose cancer in the earliest stages of its development so that treatment can start as soon as possible. Early detection is one of the keys to stopping cancer in its tracks and improves one’s chance recovery dramatically. The VELscope® tool is leading edge technology made available to our clients.
What does oral cancer look like?
There are many signs of oral cancer that can mimic other conditions, making it even more important than ever to catch it sooner rather than later. Abnormalities and concerns that might develop and indicate that cancer is present include:
- New growths or bumps in the mouth
- Patches of red or white in the mouth
- Problems with chewing, swallowing, or speaking
- Persistent sore throat
- Unusual and unexplained bleeding in the mouth
- Ear pain
- Sores on the face, neck, or in the mouth that do not heal on their own
- Numbness or pain in the face, neck, or mouth, and/or
- Changes to the position of the teeth or the way certain appliances fit over time

We are immensely proud of our Living Wellness Dental Dorchester staff. We're all here to provide great dentistry with an emphasis on total health, as opposed to the typical disease-oriented, reactionary philosophy.
This proactive paradigm is based on the notion that there is a significant link between oral health and overall health, which has led our practice into the area of holistic care and a "biologic" perspective to dentistry.
Our first objective is to guarantee that you are at ease and confident in our knowledge and expertise. Our committed, courteous, and experienced team of physicians, which includes Drs. Kindal Robertson, D.D.S., and Dr. Keely Bullen D.M.D., is happy to help you with all of your oral health needs.
