Altima Dental Launches Advanced Oral Cancer Checking Program

Oral cancer is prevalent and preventable.And the potential for death is significantly reduced if cancer is detected early, making treatment easier, less invasive and more than 90% curable.

In an effort to shed light on the importance of oral cancer prevention, Altima Dental is launching an advanced checking program that will help dentists detect abnormalities in the mouth more readily than ever before. Altima Dental’s advanced oral cancer check is designed to complement a regular dental exam. It works like a highlighter to enhance your dentist’s ability to detect any irregular lesions that could be difficult to observe with the human eye.

An advanced oral cancer check is simple, painless and only takes a few minutes. The process involves an oral rinse and a chemiluminescent light probe. After rinsing with solution, your mouth is examined using the light. A blue dye stain is applied to irregular areas, illuminating lesions that could potentially be cancerous.
