SALT LAKE CITY, March 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Apex Family
Dental, a seven office practice spread across Salt
Lake, Tooele, and Davis counties, is excited to be the
first Utah dentist to offer
completely FREE VELscope oral cancer screenings to the
community throughout the month of April. Apex believes in the
importance of the fight against oral cancer, which is why they
are leading the way in raising awareness and diagnoses within their
community.
April is Oral Cancer Awareness month across the
country. Although oral cancer only accounts for approximately
3% of all cancer cases, there are still estimated to be over 45,000
Americans diagnosed this year. Because oral cancer is often
detected at a late stage, only 60% of newly diagnosed people live
longer than 5 years. Regularly scheduled preventative check-ups
allow your dentist the opportunity to diagnose more serious health
concerns, such as oral cancer.
Most dentists are able to do a quick oral examination of the
tissues in your mouth to look for any noticeable cancerous growth
or damage. Like all cancers, early detection is crucial for a
successful recovery, and unfortunately, a simple visual check
can often miss developing issues. That is why
Apex Dental's trained staff takes advantage of
the VELscope Oral Assessment System, a state-of-the-art
tool utilizing harmless blue light to detect distinct patterns
of healthy and unhealthy
tissues. The VELscope screening is both quick and
painless and can be easily fit into your routine dental exam and
cleaning.
Apex Dental will be including VELscope Oral Cancer
Screenings with every patient exam at no additional charge. In
addition, anyone, regardless of if they are a patient at Apex,
will be able to receive a free oral cancer screening just by
visiting their nearest Apex
office. These VELscope screenings will be available
at Apex's locations in Sandy, Riverton, Murray,
and Stansbury Park. Give Apex a call at (801) 438-6989 to
schedule your appointment today, or visit their website at
