WHAT IS ORAL PATHOLOGY?

Making Sure You're In Good Health

The mouth is an important organ with many different functions. It is also prone to a variety of medical and dental disorders.

Our office offers oral pathology services to diagnose & treat diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. Our oral surgeons can take a small sample of abnormal tissue and then send it for laboratory testing for identification. Some lesions can be managed medically or entirely removed by one of our oral surgeons.
