Cancer can affect any part of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, mouth, and throat. Oral cancer is one of the most curable diseases when it’s caught early. At Pellegrino Cosmetic and Family Dentistry we conduct oral cancer screenings using a technology called Identafi to stop abnormal tissue in its tracks.
Oral cancer screening is an examination performed by Dr. Jason Pellegrino to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. The goal of oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater chance for a cure. With Identafi technology, the detection is made through the processing of optical fluorescence and reflectance in certain body tissues. An annual Identafi exam, in combination with a regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure for patients at increased risk for oral cancer.
The Identafi exam is painless, fast, and could help save your life, so don’t wait any longer to schedule an appointment for an oral cancer screening.
