Dental Exam and Mouth Cancer Screening

I never realized how important our dental care is until I visited Sanoviv. They screened me for mouth cancer, periodontal disease and analyzed my root canals and other dental work for issues. I decided to have the 5 mercury fillings removed while at Sanoviv partly because of the careful removal procedures they use but also the fact that one of the fillings was sending off a signal, just like a battery. The mouth cancer screening was unusual. They had me rinse with some solution and then turned the lights in the room out and my mouth glowed in the dark. They thoroughly checked around for any signs of cancer. I had never heard of this procedure before. I wish there were more biological dentists locally because I also believe that my mouth is connected to my body and therefore any problems of the mouth can affect my other organs.
