How Does An Oral Pathology Exam Work?
During your oral pathology exam, Dr. Dorsett or Dr. Orr will carefully inspect the inside of your mouth, your jaw, and surrounding tissues. They will look for any abnormalities or possible signs of oral cancer, such as unexplained lumps, sores that don't heal, or red or white patches on the soft tissues of your mouth. If any concerns are found, they may remove a small sample for our oral pathology laboratory to analyze. Once we have more detailed results, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment to review them with you. This exam is essential for detecting oral health issues early and ensuring prompt treatment when necessary.
