How Does Oral Pathology Work?
Oral pathology works by identifying and diagnosing diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures through a combination of clinical examination, diagnostic tests, and tissue analysis. Initially, we will perform a thorough evaluation of your oral health, which may include visual inspections, palpations, and medical history reviews. Suspicious lesions or abnormalities are often further investigated using diagnostic tools such as biopsies, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Tissue samples from biopsies are examined microscopically to determine the nature of the condition, whether it is benign or malignant. Based on the findings, we can develop and recommend appropriate treatment plans to address the identified issues and improve the patient's oral health.
