Pathology Symptoms We Look For

How Pathology Screenings Are Done

Initial oral pathology examinations are simple procedures that include visual inspection within the mouth for any abnormalities previously listed. A biopsy will be performed to conduct tests if we identify anything suspicious.

We commonly use an Ellman radiofrequency dental laser to take biopsies, reducing the need for scalpels or bleeding. Performing biopsies when concerns are first detected leads to the best results in successfully removing cancers, tumors, or cysts. At Advanced Dental Implant Center, we strongly recommend receiving regular pathology tests, even if your results are negative, as diseases can develop over time.

Constant Vigilance Keeps You Safe

One of the best ways to maintain good oral and overall health is to perform routine at-home checks for abnormalities. If you notice any pain, discomfort, or bumps in your mouth or throat, you should immediately seek professional assistance.

The beginning stages of the pathological process can often involve red or white patches on the tissues of your mouth, chronic sore throat, hoarseness, and/or difficulty chewing or swallowing. Oral cancers or other conditions can develop at almost any age, so it is recommended that everyone, regardless of age, stay vigilant about their health.
