How Does an Oral Pathology Exam Work?
An oral pathology exam starts with a thorough check of your oral health, including visual inspections, gentle palpations, and a review of your medical history. If anything unusual is found, like a suspicious lesion, we may recommend additional tests such as imaging, lab work, or a biopsy. Tissue samples from biopsies are carefully examined under a microscope to determine if the issue is benign or something more serious. Once we have a clear picture, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to address the problem and help you achieve better oral health.
