My name is Jillian and I work for the PR firm that represents OralCDx and I want to let you know that you can actually prevent oral cancer from ever developing by asking your dentist for the BrushTest. The BrushTest, or computer-assisted brush biopsy, manufactured by OralCDx Laboratories, is a small brush that dental professionals use to test tiny white or red spots that are commonly found in a person's mouth during a routine oral exam. It is one of two tests that can actually detect oral cancer (the other is a scalpel biopsy), and is better at detecting cancer than mammography, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test or the Pap smear. The sensitivity and specificity to detect precancers and cancers with OralCDx is very high according to numerous studies published in peer reviewed journals. The test is so effective that the American Dental Association has partnered with OralCDx to educate dentists and patients about its lifesaving potential: http://www.ada.org. When an oral spot found by the BrushTest contains precancerous cells, they are typically still harmless for several more years. During this time the precancerous spot can be removed and oral cancer prevented. The next time you visit your dentist, make sure to ask him/her about the BrushTest.
