An alternative light-assisted oral cancer screening at Junée F. Gardy DDS, PA is typically performed during a dental exam and can help detect any symptoms of oral cancer that can be hard to notice on your own. Oral cancer can occur anywhere in the mouth, including the gums, throat, cheeks, lips, and tongue. If left undiscovered, oral cancer may spread and become life-threatening so it's important to have a dental professional check for signs. Dr. Junée F. Gardy performs alternative light-assisted oral cancer screenings using the Identafi® light system for patients to provide the best chance of treatment and recovery.

What to Expect During An Oral Cancer Screening
To begin your alternative light-assisted oral cancer screening, Dr. Gardy will ask questions about your medical history to determine if you have any risk factors for oral cancer. Next, she will take a close look inside your mouth with Identafi, which is a handheld light that enhances the visibility of any suspicious-looking sores or discolored tissue that may not be seen with the naked eye. She will also inspect the surrounding areas outside of your mouth, like your face, neck, and lips, for any abnormalities. If anything suspicious or concerning is found, Dr. Gardy may recommend you have a follow-up exam or biopsy done for further evaluation.

Dr. Gardy worked on my molar that needed root canal work by Dr. Layton. She did a crown that was absolutely perfect with the margins so tight and you just can't tell it's a crown. You'll be very pleased with her very professional offices and staff.
Dr Gardy and her team are the best!
