What makes you a good candidate for Oral Pathology?
The benefits of oral pathology far outweigh any risks or problems involved. The biopsy done on suspicious areas within the mouth can help in detecting beginning stage problems. This makes treatment more likely to be successful and can do wonders for your overall health. Once examined, you will be given information on the findings of the biopsy and treatment options available to you.
What can be expected during Oral Pathology?
You will come into our office and be comfortably seated. We will take a small tissue sample of the area inside of the mouth that has been deemed suspicious. Using state-of-the-art technology, we will examine the tissue sample for various conditions. We will then provide you with information on what was found and treatment options available to you. Having a biopsy done on a suspicious lesion or patch of tissue is beneficial in that it helps us to find and begin treating intra-oral conditions when they first start.
