Who treats oral mucosa diseases in our studio?
How we treat oral mucosa diseases
An appointment with the specialist in oral medicine begins with the specialist collecting information relating to the patient’s medical status and the issues which led them to request an appointment. This is followed by an inspection of the oral cavity with a dental mirror and a sterile gauze and with manual palpation of the lesion/s.
An accurate diagnosis may on occasion need a biopsy, i.e. a partial or complete removal of the lesion under local anaesthetic. The lesion will then be sent for histological analysis by a qualified pathologist. Blood tests and certain radiographic tests may also be required.
What is oral medicine?
Oral medicine is the field of study which deals with diseases of the mouth, usually unrelated to dental pathologies related to traditional dentisty. Diseases in the mucosa coating the oral cavity, the maxillary bones and the salivary glands may have a range of causes (inflammation, infection, tumour, trauma), but may manifest themselves in similar ways, leading to possible mistakes or delays in diagnosis, with potentially dangerous consequences.
