Top Dentist, Dr. Gary E. Alhadef of Dallas, Texas Utilizes VELscope Technology in Oral Cancer Detection, As Featured On "The Dr. Oz Show"
As seen on the Friday, October 1st broadcast of “The Dr. Oz Show”, the VELscope system, a technology utilized by top dentist Dr. Gary E. Alhadef, is an outstanding means of oral cancer detection. The show’s theme, entitled, “A Trip to the Dentist Could Save Your Life,” is indicative of the powerful potential that dentistry has in facilitating and managing overall health and wellness. VELscope is a powerful tool in detecting oral abnormalities. Specifically designed to help dentists like Dr. Alhadef, the VELscope emits a unique blue-spectrum light, which lights up the healthy tissues of the mouth in a distinctive pattern. The way Dr. Alhadef distinguishes visibly traumatized areas is by noting where the visual spectrum of the blue-light is disturbed. By using the VELscope, Dr. Alhadef can confidently find abnormalities in the mouth, assisting greatly in early cancer detection for his patients and his community.
Dr. Mehmet Oz developed his own show after his appearances on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. Due to his popularity and credibility, Dr. Oz has become an advocate for health, disease detention, and illness prevention. On the aforementioned show, Dr. Levine, D.M.D., P.C. appears with Dr. Oz as they reveal sobering facts about incidents of oral cancer and the urgent need for earlier detection. This development comes on the heels The World Health Organization’s (WHO) recent recognition of VELscope as a revolutionary tool in addressing global health concerns. The VELscope system is one of only eight devices to be so honored, and the only dental device.
