What Is Oral Pathology?

Oral pathology is the branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosing and managing diseases of the mouth and surrounding structures. It helps detect:

• Persistent mouth sores
• White or red patches in the mouth
• Swellings, lumps, or cysts
• Non-healing ulcers
• Abnormal tissue growths

Understanding Oral Anatomy in Pathology

Oral pathology begins with a deep understanding of oral anatomy. Every part of the mouth—from the tongue and palate to the floor of the mouth and inner cheeks—plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing diseases. This detailed anatomical overlay highlights key oral regions, helping patients and professionals visualize where issues may arise. Recognizing subtle changes in these areas can lead to early detection of conditions such as oral cancer, infections, and autoimmune disorders. At [Your Clinic Name], we combine advanced imaging with expert care to ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.
