HOUSTON, TX—(Marketwired – June 25, 2015) – Dr. Lynette Crouse, a talented Houston family dentistry, is now using a new technology to detect irregularities in the mouth that could develop into oral cancer or oral HPV.
OralID uses a proven, optically based approach called “fluorescence technology†that allows Dr. Crouse to identify oral cancer, pre–cancer and other abnormal lesions in the earlier stages. When oral cancers are detected in the early stages, there is an 80 to 90 percent survival rate, but the survival rate is only about 50 percent when the cancers are detected in the advanced stages. “OralID is the oral exam device that every clinician deserves to wield in the fight against oral cancer,†said Dr. Crouse, who operates Precise Dental of Houston. “By adding this technology into our practice, we can give patients peace of mind and let them know exactly what is going on in their mouth.â€
Dr. Crouse conducts an in–depth oral cancer screening following patients’ regular cleanings and dental exams. Alcohol, tobacco and the sexually transmitted disease HPV are the leading causes of oral or oropharyngeal cancer, but studies show that about 25 percent of Americans with oral cancer have no known risks.
“We’re here to provide comprehensive care and make sure that you leave our office with a healthy smile,†Dr. Crouse said.
