The Importance Of Oral Cancer Screening

We care about your oral health. Our office is one of the few in the Milford, CT area equipped with the advanced VELscope system, offering simple, painless, and affordable 2-minute screenings. Alongside digital radiography, this examination can help us discover potentially dangerous tissue that might otherwise be missed.
