Oral Pathology in Houston, TX
A healthy mouth should be lined with smooth, pink tissue. Any new bump or change in color could indicate a problem. There are a few signs that you may notice while brushing and flossing your teeth which may need to be evaluated by a professional.
- Areas that differ from the normal pink tissue in color (black, red, or white lesions)
- Areas where the tissue seems thicker
- Areas where the tissue appears raised or exhibits abnormal ridges
- Any sore or ulcer that does not heal in a week
- Areas that are painful
If you or your dental professional have an area of concern, give us a call. We will get you right away for an examination. After an examination, we can proceed with a biopsy if it is indicated. Often times, medical management is all that is needed. Our expertise in pathologic diagnosis comes from specialized training and years of experience.
