Even experts cannot clinically differentiate a precancer or early oral cancer from a benign white or red spot with just a visual exam. The OralCDx Oral Brush Biopsy Kit allows you to easily and painlessly test common, unexplained spots that may in fact be precancerous or cancerous. The brush biopsy helps rule out the chance that these spots might be something serious.
OralCDx provides everything you need to perform a painless oral brush biopsy in minutes at chairside. Simply mail the slide and test forms in the convenient prepaid mailer to the CDx lab where specially-trained pathologists will analyze the specimen with assistance of advanced computer analysis. OralCDx cost is reimbursable by many national dental insurance companies, including Cigna.
Each OralCDx biopsy test includes a sealed, sterile biopsy brush, two fixative packages, a glass slide and slide holder, a prepaid mailer box, a test requisition form, billing and reimbursement information, and instructions. ADA accepted. Includes 12 complete biopsy tests and instructions.

Too bad that so few dentists are actually doing ANY oral cancer screenings, let alone ones that are done correctly and throughly. Biopsy of any kind (even brush cytology like Cdx, which when positive still requires a gold standard incisional or punch biopsy to to confirm the findings) is of little value when the bulk of practitioners are not opportunistically screening the vast majority of their patient populations, allowing them to discover suspect tissue that warrants further exploration and diagnostic procedures. The issue is NOT diagnosis. The issue that you should be talking about is DISCOVERY. No discovery, no diagnosis.
Great point. I would not trust a gynecologist who does not perform a pap smear and I would not either trust a dentist who does not perform a cancer screening. In either case they would miss discovering cancer.
I completely agree, I think it’s important to find the right dentist rather than just a well known or popular one. It’s great that there’s an easy kit like this. I’ll have to try it out. I know I’ve gone through a few dentists that didn’t want to discuss or help me with my dry mouth. I did eventually find one that actually listened to me – finally! I’ll be sure to bring up this kit as well.
Because many people are diagnosed with oral cancer, it is important for me to know what oral cancer is and what it causes. I want to get complete information about oral cancer. Anyone help me to give information about oral cancer? Thanks.
"I would not trust a gynecologist who does not perform a pap smear and I would not either trust a dentist who does not perform a cancer screening."
well, with what had been explained by the first comment,. actually it make sense to have this kind of opinion. But then who could we trust to to discover or diagnose the cancer, then?
