Thanks Tony. I mentioned the VELscope to several people around here and it is creating interest. The northern part of BC, where I reside, has far higher rates of smoking than the south. We know the implications. Also, many of the younger generation have bought into the lung health benefits of smokeless/chew/dip tobacco, oh great. It would be interesting to see if your dentist worries about false positives when her oral parts start getting red, white, or painful.
