What is ViziLite Plus?

ViziLite uses technology that has been proven to be successful in identifying soft tissue abnormalities in other areas of the body. The ViziLite exam can help your dentist or hygienist identify abnormal tissue, not seen with the naked eye, that might develop into oral cancer. An annual ViziLite exam, in combination with a regular visual examination, provides a comprehensive oral screening procedure. The ViziLite exam is painless and fast, and could help save your life.
