Oral pathology
Early detection and expert evaluation provide peace of mind, and most oral conditions are easily treatable when caught promptly.
What is oral pathology?
Monitoring changes for your health and safety. The inside of your mouth is normally lined with smooth, pink mucosa. Any alteration in this appearance could signal a pathological process requiring evaluation.
Our experienced surgeons specialize in diagnosing and treating oral pathology conditions, from benign lesions to more serious concerns including oral cancer.
Don’t ignore changes in your mouth. Your mouth is one of your body’s most important warning systems. Early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes for all oral conditions.
Contact us immediately if you notice:
- Red patches (erythroplasia) or white patches (leukoplakia)
- Sores that fail to heal or bleed easily
- Lumps or thickening inside the mouth
- Chronic sore throat or hoarseness
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Unexplained facial or oral pain
How an oral pathology evaluation works
The process involves thorough examination of all oral tissues including lips, cheeks, palate, gums, tongue, face, and neck to identify any suspicious areas. If abnormal areas are detected, we perform a biopsy with tissue samples. They are analyzed by specialized pathologists.
Treatment options vary based on the diagnosis and may range from simple monitoring to surgical removal. Most oral pathology conditions are highly treatable when detected early.
Be your own first line of defense
We recommend performing monthly oral cancer self-examinations. Look for any changes in color, texture, or appearance of your mouth’s tissues. Remember—early detection saves lives. Don’t ignore suspicious lumps, sores, or changes – contact us for evaluation.
