Detecting and Treating Oral Pathologies
Oral pathology refers to diseases of the mouth, jaws, and associated structures. Early diagnosis and treatment of these conditions are essential to prevent the progression of potentially serious diseases. At Western OMS, Dr. Franc Henze offers expert care for a wide range of oral pathologies, from benign growths to more complex issues requiring surgical intervention.
Common Oral Pathologies Treated at Western OMS
- Oral Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can form in the soft tissues of the mouth or jawbone.
- Benign Tumours: Non-cancerous growths that can develop in the oral cavity or jaw.
- Oral Cancer: Dr. Henze works in collaboration with oncology specialists to provide comprehensive care for oral cancer patients.
The Oral Pathology Treatment Process
- Initial Examination and Imaging: We use x-rays, CT scans, and biopsies to diagnose oral pathologies.
- Treatment Plan: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve surgical removal or biopsy of the affected area.
- Post-Operative Care: After surgery, Dr. Henze provides comprehensive care instructions to ensure proper healing.
Why Early Detection Is Important
Many oral pathologies can progress without noticeable symptoms. Routine dental exams and prompt consultation for any oral abnormalities can lead to early detection, which greatly improves treatment outcomes.
