We can help you with:
- Diagnosis of lesions or changes involving the soft tissues of the mouth.
- Excisional or Incisional biopsies.
- Long term management of chronic concerns – e.g. Dry Mouth Syndrome, HIV complications, Mucocutaneous Disorders (e.g. Lichen Planus / Lichenoid Drug Reactions) or medication adverse reaction advice.
The importance of regular oral examinations cannot be over emphasised as there are a number of common conditions that are now classified as “potentially malignant” changes in the mouth.
You may not experience any pain, but any change in the mouth that doesn't resolve within a few days should be investigated by an Oral Medicine specialist to rule out any more sinister issues.
If you or your dentist are concerned about a change in your mouth, then please book an appointment with us as soon as possible. Time is of the essence when dealing with any potentially malignant changes of the tissues in the mouth.
