LED Dental Inc, Atlanta, has partnered with the Oral Cancer Foundation’s “Be Part of the Change”™ program, which aims to promote the importance of routine comprehensive oral screenings and early detection of oral cancer.
LED Dental, manufacturer of the VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment, will provide a free VELscope Vx system to dental and specialty practices that make a commitment to perform a minimum of three oral screenings per day over a period of 3 years. Practices will only pay for the consumable asepsis barriers to prevent cross contamination during screenings.
While regular oral screenings are a key tool in early detection of oral cancer and precancerous lesions, many patients do not receive routine oral examinations that could potentially locate a serious oral health concern. The Oral Cancer Foundation is working to change the mind-set of the oral healthcare industry, making improved oral screening protocols a priority in every dental practice.
