Marietta Oral Pathology
Dr. Worley and his staff at Mountain View Oral Surgery and Dental Implants are the experts when it comes to Marietta oral pathology. The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process that may require a oral surgery procedure. The most serious of these is oral cancer. The following can be signs at the beginning of a pathologic process or cancerous growth:
• Reddish patches (erythroplasia) or whitish patches (leukoplakia) in the mouth
• A sore that fails to heal and bleeds easily
• A lump or thickening on the skin lining inside of the mouth
• Chronic sore throat or hoarseness
• Difficulty in chewing or swallowing
Atlanta Oral Pain Specialists
These changes can be detected on the lips, cheeks, palate and gum tissue around the teeth, tongue, face and/or neck by the Atlanta oral pain specialists at Mountain View. Pain does not always occur with pathology, and curiously, is not often associated with oral cancer. However, any patient with facial and/or oral pain without an obvious cause or reason may also be at risk for oral cancer. If you have experienced any of these pathological changes, it is really important for you to be examined by a physician as a soon as possible.
