Oral Cancer Screening
How We Do Oral Cancer Screenings
At Smiles by Mia in Burke, VA, oral cancer screening is a crucial preventive measure. We use the VELscope, a device that uses a special blue light to find abnormal tissue a visual exam might miss. This noninvasive screening takes less than 5 minutes. Regular screenings are vital for those with risk factors like tobacco use, as early detection greatly improves health outcomes. At Smiles by Mia, we are committed to proactive care that prioritizes your total health.
