Oral Pathology
|
| • | Salivary issues. Certain salivary issues can lead to dry mouth, or a lack of saliva in your mouth. |
| • | Canker and cold sores. |
| • | Thrush, a condition caused by a yeast infection that leads to white patches in your mouth. |
| • | Leukoplakia, or patches of excessive cell growth. |
| • | Chronic bad breath, or chronic halitosis. |
| • | Median palatal cysts. These are benign, but painful, growths in the palate that are often caused by an infection. |
| • | Issues with the tongue, including hairy tongue and geographic tongue. |
| • | Oral cancer. This is the most serious pathological disease, which can be fatal if not found and treated in the early stages. Oral cancer can start just about anywhere in the mouth, including the lips, tongue, cheeks, and gums. |
| • | Antibiotics. These are often prescribed for infections. They can be topical, such as those for cold sores, or oral antibiotics. |
| • | Prescription mouthwashes. These are often prescribed for infections caused by poor oral hygiene, and are recommended for use in addition to improving your oral care practices at home. |
| • | Oral surgery. In cases of cysts and other growths, both benign and malignant, oral surgery may be recommended. During these procedures, the growths are removed from your mouth. In the early stages of cancer, removal of the abnormality can stop the spread of the disease and restore your health. In some cases, further treatment may be needed. |

The appearance of the soft tissues in your mouth can be very telling. When your mouth is healthy, the tissues are smooth and pink. However, if your mouth is affected by an oral health issue, the texture and color can change. Any changes, no matter how minor they might seem, may be nothing, but they can also be indicative of a significant issue. At Martin Periodontics, we can help to diagnose and treat a number of different issues affecting the health of your mouth with oral pathology.
