If you notice an abnormality in your mouth's lining, on your tongue, or in your jaw, you should seek an evaluation by an oral surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Our team at Hill & Ioppolo Oral & Dental Implant Surgery of Lubbock can assist you with oral pathology screenings or treatments to maintain your smile. Oral pathology is the diagnosis and corresponding treatment of any diseases that occur in your mouth.
It is important to be conscious of any symptoms that arise in your mouth — the earlier a pathological process is caught, the easier it is to treat. If you or your dentist notice any changes in the lining of your mouth, our oral surgeon, Dr. Robert B. Ioppolo, is more than happy to give a second opinion. A few of the warning signs of a potential oral disease include:
An oral examination will help you determine whether your condition should be treated right away. Some of the most common oral diseases that Dr. Ioppolo treats are listed below:
Treatment for oral diseases varies depending on the patient’s condition. If you come in for an oral exam or biopsy, Dr. Ioppolo will go over your results with you before helping you decide on a treatment plan. To learn more about oral pathology screenings and treatment at our practice, give our office in Lubbock, TX, a call. One of our staff members will be happy to help you.
