What is Oral Pathology?
Oral pathology refers to the study and diagnosis of diseases affecting the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, gums and other soft tissues. Early detection of conditions such as oral cancer, or oral infections, can significantly improve treatment outcomes and overall health. At Woodlands Dental, our comprehensive screening process includes visual examinations and, if necessary, additional diagnostic tools to ensure that any irregularities are promptly identified.
During your visit with us, our skilled team will conduct a thorough examination of your oral tissues. We will look for signs of inflammation, discolouration, lumps, or other anomalies that may warrant further investigation. If we detect anything concerning, we may recommend additional tests, such as biopsies or referrals to a specialist, in order to obtain a definitive diagnosis.
Woodlands Dentals understands that oral health is closely linked to your overall well-being. That is why our approach to oral pathology screening emphasizes patient education. We take the time to explain findings, discuss risk factors, and provide guidance on maintaining optimal oral health! We look forward to seeing you soon and helping on the road to optimal overall health and wellness.
