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.
