How Does Oral Pathology Work?
Oral pathology involves identifying and diagnosing conditions that affect the mouth, jaws, and surrounding structures. Dr. Pausa will begin with a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including a visual inspection and review of your medical history. If any abnormalities or suspicious lesions are found, further tests such as biopsies or imaging studies may be recommended. During a biopsy, Dr. Pausa will remove a small sample of tissue, which will be sent to a lab for microscopic examination. The results will help determine whether the tissue is benign or malignant, guiding the next steps in your treatment plan. Our team at Joe Pausa, DMD, will ensure you are fully informed throughout the process so you can make informed choices about your oral health.
What Are the Benefits of Oral Pathology?
Oral pathology gives our team valuable insights into your oral health, helping to identify and treat conditions early. Some of the key benefits include:
- Early detection of conditions such as oral cancer, leading to more effective treatment
- Accurate diagnosis of abnormalities in the mouth, jaw, and surrounding tissues
- Prevention of further complications by addressing issues before they worsen
- Personalized treatment plans based on biopsy results, ensuring the best care
- Peace of mind by determining whether a lesion or growth is benign or malignant
S. Joseph Pausa, D.M.D. Reviews
Dr Pausa is number one in his field of expertise! His staff is always welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this practice.
Dr. Pausa is the total professional in every way. He was patient and kind as he explained things to me. He has the necessary equipment to do the 360 image right there in the office, which he can see and review immediately. He seems completely competent and confident in his explanations of options and recommendations for next steps. He answered my questions with zero impatience and zero arrogance -- two failings of the medical profession in general of which, thankfully, he is a counter-example. Finally, he works closely with my regular provider so I feel as though I have a top flight team on my side. Oh, and his staff is equally first class. I give them all an A+.
