Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Pathology

What symptoms might indicate an oral pathology issue?

Unusual lumps, persistent sores, bleeding, pain, or discoloration in the mouth and surrounding areas may warrant an evaluation by an oral surgeon or oral pathologist. These signs can sometimes be subtle, so it's important to pay attention to any changes or discomfort.

How often should I have an oral health examination?

Regular dental check-ups every six months are recommended to monitor and detect any changes in oral health early. These examinations can help prevent serious issues and address potential problems before they become more severe.

What technologies do you use for diagnosis?

We employ advanced imaging technologies such as cone beam CT scans and soft tissue laser technology for precise and accurate diagnosis and treatment. These tools allow us to view detailed images of the oral structures, aiding in the assessment and treatment planning.

Are oral lesions always cancerous?

Not all oral lesions are cancerous, but a professional evaluation is crucial to determining the nature of the lesion. Some lesions can be benign, but others may require further testing to rule out malignancy. Early diagnosis is key in managing potential health concerns effectively.

How long does a typical biopsy procedure take?

A biopsy procedure usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the complexity and location of the lesion. Post-procedure, some patients might experience mild discomfort, but this is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
