Oral pathology: a diagnosis that brings peace of mind

Any lesion, lump or change that does not go away in the mouth deserves assessment by a specialist. I diagnose and, when needed, biopsy lesions of the oral cavity to act in time and with certainty.

When to see a specialist for oral pathology?

Early detection is key. It's worth assessing any change that does not disappear within two weeks, such as:

  • Sores or ulcers that do not heal
  • Lumps, swellings or growths in the mouth or gum
  • Persistent white or red patches
  • Cysts detected on an X-ray
  • Changes in color or texture of the oral mucosa
If a lesion does not go away, don't stay in doubt. A timely assessment can make all the difference.
