Is it <strong>oral cancer<\/strong>? Probably not. But <strong>oral cancer<\/strong> is as serious as any other form, and in some cases, much more serious. <strong>Oral cancer<\/strong> claims the life of one American every hour. What\u2019s more, this year around 40,000 Americans will be diagnosed with some form of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>All of which begs one question: why is the death rate for <strong>oral cancer<\/strong> so high?<\/p>\n<p>Because many diagnoses aren\u2019t made until it\u2019s already in a late stage of development. But at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/\">The Center for Advanced Dentistry<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/meet-dr-hornstein.html\">Dr. Hornstein<\/a> is helping to change that with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/about-us.html\">VELscope<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VELscope<\/strong> is a unique cancer screening tool that uses fluorescent light to detect potentially cancerous tissue cells before they can be detected with just a simple oral exam. That means patients who have been diagnosed with <strong>VELscope<\/strong> can begin treatment sooner, when chances of recovery are higher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does VELscope Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An <strong>oral cancer<\/strong> screening with <strong>VELscope<\/strong> takes just seconds to complete and is absolutely painless. During your screening, <strong>Dr. Hornstein<\/strong> will simply shine the <strong>VELscope<\/strong> light over the interior of your smile. Under this light, abnormal cells will look distinctly different from health tissue.<\/p>\n<p>Is it time for you to schedule your next regular checkup and <strong>oral cancer<\/strong> exam? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfad.net\/contact.html\">Call<\/a> <strong>The Center for Advanced Dentistry<\/strong> today. <strong>Dr. Hornstein<\/strong> serves patients from <strong>Cleveland, Solon, Shaker Heights, Pepper Pike, and surrounding areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of the word \u201ccancer,\u201d what comes to mind first?
