How Does Oral Pathology Work?
Oral pathology works by examining the tissues inside your mouth to identify abnormalities or signs of disease. When you visit Middle Tennessee Oral and Implant Surgery, we will begin by evaluating any unusual lesions, growths, or changes in your oral tissues. If an abnormality is found, Dr. Hardison or Dr. Warden may perform additional tests, such as biopsies, to further examine the tissue. The samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Once a diagnosis is made, a personalized treatment plan is created to address any conditions, whether benign or more serious.
