Oral Cancer Screenings Near You

dentist examining his patient's mouthEarly diagnosis is the best way to set yourself up for successful treatment. When cancers are smaller, they are usually easier to treat. Early treatment tends to be less invasive, healing is expected to be faster, and there is a lower chance of the cancer returning. Early detection makes a big difference in a successful outcome.

Dr. Sekhon performs a complete oral cancer screening in Edmonton, AB T6R 2X2 during each patient examination. During this exam, he looks for the appearance of lesions and abnormal tissues in the following areas:

  • Defined by irregular borders
  • Irregularly shaped
  • Spotted or patchy
  • Different than tissues on the opposite side of the mouth
  • Lesions that have not healed normally
  • Nodules or lumps along the lymph nodes

VELscope Cancer Detection

Extremely safe VELscope technology uses imaging methods to identify precise areas of abnormal, precancerous and cancerous tissue. The VELscope appliance can even pick up areas that are not visible during a thorough clinical exam. Dr. Sekhon feels strongly that every patient receives a cancer screening.
