Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry (http://www.smilesouthflorida.com/dentists/charles-nottingham-dds.html), a cosmetic dentist who is the senior partner of Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry. When caught at its earliest stage, oral cancer can be cured relatively easily.
"We opted to begin conducting the ViziLite Plus exam because it will help us identify abnormal tissue that might develop into oral cancer," Nottingham said.
An annual ViziLite Plus exam, in combination with a regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure for patients at increased risk for oral cancer.
Although adults should be screened annually for oral cancer, Nottingham said, men older than age 40 who use tobacco products and drink more than one alcoholic beverage per day are at the
highest risk of developing oral cancer.
"They certainly should consider the screening," he said, adding, "Anyone who uses tobacco products should be screened for oral cancer."
The ViziLite Plus exam is painless, fast and non-invasive, according to the company's Web site, http://www.smilesouthflorida.com/services/porcelain-veneers.html), dental implants and
extreme makeovers.
