Velscope technology has revolutionized the way our dentists can detect the presence of oral cancer<\/h2>\n

Oral cancer has a devastating impact on the population of America, with on average one person dying from this cancer every hour. This potentially fatal disease is rarely discovered until it is in its later stages, which makes the patients prognosis far worse than if it was discovered in its early stages. At Michelle Enmark, DDS located in Sacramento, we are working to combat this issue with our oral lesion screenings.<\/p>\n
