New Technology Helps St. Pete Dentist Screen for Oral Cancer
Dr. Ferullo is dedicated to giving his patients the best care possible. That is why this St. Pete Dentist is screening for oral cancer with the newest enhanced oral assessment system, VELscope®. This new technology allows Dr. Ferullo to screen for pre-cancers, cancers, and other diseases. The VELscope®. System allows enhanced visualization which can lead to early detection of any tissue abnormalities.
The Importance of Oral Cancer Screening
Over 36,000 Americans are diagnosed with oral cancer each year. Oral Cancer receives less publicity than other cancers but claims more victims than cervical, skin or testicular cancer. Early detection and treatment significantly reduces the need for radical surgeries or disfigurement and saves lives. Dr. Ferullo is a St. Pete dentist that wants to make sure his patients get this essential screening regularly. He feels that regular oral cancer screenings are an important part of the lifetime partnership he forms to ensure his patients can achieve optimum dental and overall health.
Quick and Easy Screening for Peace of Mind
Unlike other oral cancer screening techniques, VELscope® uses tissue fluorescence and does not require the use of dyes or extended testing procedures. In fact, Dr. Ferullo can perform these in normal lighting during routine hygiene exams in around two minutes. This very important screening in the fight against oral cancer is quick and easy while giving you peace of mind.
