Pathology

Oral pathology focuses on identifying diseases and abnormalities affecting the oral cavity, mouth, and surrounding tissues. If you notice changes in texture, unusual sores, or symptoms such as burning mouth, a qualified oral pathologist can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate care.

A thorough diagnosis begins with a clinical examination by experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons. In some cases, biopsies may be recommended to evaluate tissue changes inside the mouth. Accurate findings help guide the most effective treatment plan for each patient.
