Free Oral Cancer Screening at Chicago Holistic Dentistry

Dr. Taf Paulson, DDS, of Chicago Holistic Dentistry, is offering a free oral cancer screening ($55 value) through the end of the year utilizing the state-of-the-art, patented VELscope Vx. Enhanced Oral Assessment System to champion Oral Health Awareness.

The VELscope is a handheld device that emits a harmless bright blue light to inspect the oral tissue in the mouth, specifically under and at the sides of the tongue, where most oral cancer is found. The light causes the abnormal or precancerous tissue to fluoresce. It’s non-invasive, painless and radiation-free, aligning with Paulson’s preventative dentistry philosophy. 

Results are received in real time so one can be sure to have a truly healthy mouth. Statistics reveal that when discovered early, the five-year survival rate for oral cancer patients is highly favorable, at about 83 percent. This complimentary oral cancer screening will continue through the rest of the year, so be sure to mention Natural Awakenings when calling to schedule a dental wellness visit.
