What Is Oral Pathology?
Oral pathology is a branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures. This specialized field addresses a variety of issues, from benign lesions to malignant tumors, through detailed examination of oral tissues to identify abnormalities. At Corpus Christi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Kenneth Hayes and Dr. Mance Cutbirth offer accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans for a wide range of oral health conditions. Contact our office in Corpus Christi, TX to learn more.
How Does an Oral Pathology Exam Work?
An oral pathology exam starts with a thorough check of your oral health, including visual inspections, gentle palpations, and a review of your medical history. If anything unusual is found, like a suspicious lesion, we may recommend additional tests such as imaging, lab work, or a biopsy. Tissue samples from biopsies are carefully examined under a microscope to determine if the issue is benign or something more serious. Once we have a clear picture, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to address the problem and help you achieve better oral health.
What Are the Benefits of Oral Pathology?
Oral pathology plays a vital role in maintaining oral health by ensuring precise diagnosis and effective treatment for various conditions. Some benefits include:
- Catch oral diseases early
- Get accurate answers
- Personalized treatment plans
- Prevent complications
- Enjoy better oral health
Corpus Christi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons Reviews
Dr. Haynes is very caring with a great "Chairside Manner". He was very concerned about my pain level and did everything possible to keep me comfortable. I recommend him and his staff 100%!
Had 2 bottom teeth extraction yesterday, the staff was so great, will definitely be going back for my top teeth! Little to no pain as of today!
Took my husband to have 2 teeth pulled out a few days ago by Dr Cutbirth. He is an amazing Doctor. He was very nice and caring. He made sure my husband was very comfortable considering the situation. He did an amazing job. My husband is in some discomfort but isn't in so much pain as before. He is healing well thanks to Dr Cutbirths great work. We would definitely recommend coming here. Thank you to Mrs Charlotte also she was very friendly and very attentive. Also we'd like to thank Lisa as well. Great place awesome staff.
