Oral Pathology

The lining of the oral cavity, including your lips and tongue, is covered by various types of specialized skin. The tissue covers the bone and surrounds the teeth.

This specialized skin is susceptible to a variety of diseases. These pathologic changes may present as hard lumps, soft lumps, ulcers, red tissue, white tissue or changes visible only on x-ray.

While many of these changes may be meaningless, others could be life threatening. We can evaluate your soft tissue for any of these changes. Early diagnosis and treatment could save your life.

A soft tissue screening exam is part of all our routine evaluations. We also provide evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of these changes following a referral from your physician or dentist.
