Oral Pathology
Treating diseases and/or abnormalities in and around the mouth.
Certain symptoms in your mouth can indicate the existence of oral diseases and/or abnormalities, which can cause you considerable concern. Oral pathology is a wide-ranging dental specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases affecting the structures in and around the mouth. While most oral pathology cases are benign and not serious, early diagnosis is key for timely intervention and treatment.
