FAQ's
Oral Pathology and Biopsy FAQ Answered by Englewood Oral Surgery Professionals
What is oral pathology?
Oral pathology is the specialty of dentistry and discipline of pathology that deals with the nature, identification, and management of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions. This comprises disorders of the soft tissues, salivary glands, jaw bones and lymph nodes. At Englewood Oral Surgery, our experts are trained to recognize potentially abnormal oral changes and can monitor suspicious growths for infection, non-cancerous growths, or more serious local concerns such as oral cancer.
Why might I need an oral biopsy?
If your dentist, or an oral surgeon, observes an abnormal-looking skin patch, lump, bump, ulcer or sore in your mouth, and the area doesn't heal on its own, he or she will recommend that the area be biopsied. A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue to be examined under a microscope to see whether is it malignant. This is a crucial part in early detection and early diagnosis of diseases.
Is an oral biopsy painful?
There should be no pain during the oral biopsy, as most are done with local anesthesia to numb the area. There may be some mild discomfort or swelling in the days following, that can be easily treated with over-the-counter pain relief.
When are test results available?
Biopsy results typically take a few weeks. After we get the final pathology we will review the information with you and we will advise regarding next steps, monitoring, further treatment or referral to a subspecialist.
My mouth feels different – what do I do?
If you notice an intransigent sore, lump or patch, which does not heal in 2 weeks, call Englewood Oral Surgery today. A timely assessment and diagnosis could dramatically change therapeutic results.
