Oral Pathology

Oral pathology is related to any abnormalities affecting tissues inside your mouth. Ranging from infections to cysts, lesions and even oral cancer, Dr. Wallace is specialty trained and certified to investigate such abnormalities.

What can I expect through the course of my treatment?

Most often, your General Dentist or medical physician (GP) would refer you for an assessment. Treatment will commonly involve consultation and investigation of your area of concern. Following this, a sample biopsy will often be obtained and sent to a lab for analysis. Specimens sent to the lab can take up to three weeks for results, at which time there will typically be a follow-up appointment to review the results and discuss any additional steps.
