ViziLite Plus - Oral Cancer Screening

i know there are dental assistants and dentists that monitor this disussion board. apparently they:
1) rinse with a clensing solution
2) then use vizillite, a specially designed light technology
3) a suspicious lesion will be marked with t-blue, a blue dye and documented.
they claim it is like a mammogram, psa test, pap smear.
is this procedure legit? cost is $65. do dental insurance companies pay for this procedure?

 

I know Dr. R checks my tounge and gums I don't know what they charge because we send the bill to my ins co.

note, they just look at it. I've never had anything else done, I don't think

 

yes that is what i have always had. evidently this is something new.

 

According to this web site, the American Dental Association declined to give Vizilite its seal of approval. Also this page has a few links to more information.

 

Most insurance companies were not covering it as of 2007.

 

I think 65 bucks is a deal, considering the alternative.
