OralID costs less than all of the competition and includes a SmartFilterID for easy photo documentation, Lifetime Warranty, and free Team Trainings. There are no disposables* required to use the device.

*The CDC recommends the use of a sheath during standard procedures as best practice.

You will receive your OralID within five business days (or fewer) after placing your order.

Yes, we have two patient education trifolds that focus on the latest developments in oral cancer detection and HPV (human papillomavirus). The patient trifolds are Sex, Drugs & Oral Cancer and Oral Cancer (the latter is a PG-rated version suitable for all ages).

OralID does not use a bulb of any kind, but a uniquely designed LED.

OralID uses lithium rechargeable battery. The kit you receive contains two batteries. Only use the batteries supplied by Forward Science.

You will need a special filter over the camera lens. Our two options are the:
SmartFilterID(FS-18) which is provided in the OralID kit and allows the user to easily image the oral cavity using a smart phone or tablet.
DSLR Camera Filter Adapter Kit (FS-XX - 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, 77 mm) for your large Nikon or Canon cameras.

You may use dental insurance code D0431, which is noted specifically for "adjunctive screening technologies" in order to screen for oral abnormalities.

The room light does not need to be turned off. Given the intensity of the light coming from OralID, turning off the overhead exam light will be sufficient to perform a thorough examination.

OralID can be disinfected via a simple wipe-down process. We recommend that you use CaviWipes™ or an equivalent to wipe down the entire device after each use.

*The CDC recommends the use of a sheath during standard procedures as best practice.

Team Training is included with OralID and the ID for Life program for new users, staff who need a "refresher" and newly hired team members. Our comprehensive training webinar is available at www.forwardscience.com/education. One of our goals is superior customer service, and this means we’re here for you as long as you own an OralID. We want everyone to be educated about "Sex, Drugs & Oral Cancer."

Whether it is violet or blue, there is no major difference between different color fluorescence technologies used in the dental field. This technology, no matter what color it uses, has been proven to be a vital aid in the visualization of oral cancer, pre-cancer and other tissue abnormalities.

Both pair of glasses are the special filtered eyewear needed to work with the Fluorescence aspect of the OralID device. There are two types of glasses: one that will fit over prescription eyewear and one that is more sport fitting, so the clinician can choose which fits best, and then the other may be worn by the patient, or another clinician in the office who is also performing the exam. Patients do not “have to” wear the glasses; the light will not harm them.

Costs for exams will vary for each office, and we do not recommend a specific charge. Since OralID does not have any per patient cost, some offices are performing the oral screenings at no cost, some offices are only billing insurance (D0431), and some are charging up to $95. If you need assistance in implementing a pricing protocol, please contact Forward Science directly and we can help you in determining a proper screening fee for your office.
