Any dentist, whether an oral surgeon or not, is qualified to do a biopsy. Why an oral surgeon would not do them, shocks me. Obviously, this is not the office that you want to be at.

There is a learning curve in reading what shows up with the VELscope light. Anything suspicious can only be diagnosed with a biopsy. My experience with brush biposies are that if they don't come back negative, they usually say further investigation is needed. This is why we don't do them any more and do scalpel biopsies right away.

Good luck and let us know how you make out.
