The site is already full of things for dentists, and the Velscope is only one part of the equation. It is useless in the hands of a dentist that does not already know how to do a conventional eyeball and finger exam, or recognize what they are looking at. It is not a magic wand, it finds lots of things besides cancer, so they have to be educated on oral lesions, both benign and malignant, and recognize and then differentiate the things that they see into what is worrisome and important and what is not. It is just a tool. The doctor still needs to be an educated and involved person. Here are just a few of the many things they should read.
