The mouth is one of the most important indicators of overall health. Many diseases first appear in the form of oral lesions, lumps, or persistent sores that do not heal. Oral pathology is the specialty that deals with the diagnosis and management of these conditions, which may range from minor infections to serious diseases such as oral cancer.
Common Signs That Require Evaluation:
-
Red or white patches inside the mouth
-
Persistent ulcers or sores that do not heal within two weeks
-
Lumps, growths, or thickened areas in the mouth, cheek, or tongue
-
Chronic hoarseness or difficulty swallowing
-
Pain, bleeding, or numbness in the oral cavity
Why Early Diagnosis Matters:
Early detection of oral disease is critical for effective treatment. Conditions such as oral cancer can be life-threatening if not diagnosed in time, but when identified early, treatment success rates are significantly higher.
Our Approach:
At 32 Pearls – Dr. Sameer Kaura’s Dental & Maxillofacial Clinic, every suspicious lesion or abnormality is carefully examined. If necessary, a biopsy is performed to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Based on the findings, treatment may include surgical removal, referral for further oncology care, or follow-up monitoring.
