At Above & Beyond Dental, we prioritize your oral health by ensuring that any conditions or abnormalities are detected and diagnosed as early as possible. Oral pathology is a critical aspect of our practice, focusing on the identification and management of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws and related structures. Our dedicated dentist will conduct a thorough examination during your visit, looking for signs that may indicate pathological issues.
One of the most serious conditions we monitor for is oral cancer. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. We also screen for other diseases such as salivary gland disorders, mumps and odontogenic infections. Being proactive about your oral health can make a substantial difference in your overall wellbeing.
signs that may indicate a pathological process or a cancerous growth:
- Persistent sore throat or hoarseness
- A sore in the mouth, or on the lips, face or neck that bleeds easily and does not heal within two weeks
- Difficulty or pain when chewing or swallowing
- A lump or thickening in the tissue lining the inside of the mouth
- Red, white or speckled red-and-white patches in the mouth
- Changes in how your teeth fit together or how your dentures or other oral appliances fit
If you notice any of these symptoms, we encourage you to contact our office for a comprehensive examination. Our diagnostic approach includes various techniques and tools such as radiographic imaging, microscopic analysis and biochemical tests to accurately diagnose and treat any issues.
Our goal is to provide you with the highest standard of care. By staying vigilant and informed about your oral health, you can help us in detecting problems early and ensuring that you receive the necessary treatment promptly.
