Oral Pathology
Oral pathology is a specialized field dedicated to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the mouth and the maxillofacial area. Professionals in this area utilize a range of diagnostic techniques, including radiographic imaging, microscopic analysis, biochemical tests, and other in-office evaluations.
Oral pathologists play a vital role in assisting dentists by providing biopsy services and delivering clinical diagnoses based on their comprehensive findings. They are trained to identify a variety of conditions, including oral and throat cancers, mumps, disorders of the salivary glands, ulcers, odontogenic infections, and many more.
If you have concerns about oral health or suspect a disease, an oral pathologist can help you navigate the diagnostic process and guide your treatment options.
