OralCDx

Early Detection That Could Save Your Life

Your mouth is one of the most dynamic environments in your body—and it’s also one of the easiest places for early warning signs to go unnoticed. The OralCDx® Brush Test is a quick, non-invasive screening tool that helps detect abnormal cells in the mouth long before symptoms arise, and long before they can turn into something more serious.

During your routine dental visit, Dr. Linda Golden performs a thorough oral cancer screening. If she spots a tiny white or red area that looks suspicious (and most people have them at some point), the OralCDx brush can be gently used to collect a few cells—no pain, no needles, no surgery. The sample is then sent to a specialized lab where advanced computer analysis looks for any unhealthy or pre-cancerous changes.

If abnormal cells are found, they can usually be treated quickly and easily—well before they become dangerous. It’s a proactive way to stay ahead of potential health risks, and it’s just one more way Dr. Golden brings a comprehensive, biological lens to your overall wellness.
