Oral pathology is the study of diseases affecting the mouth, including their underlying causes and clinical impact. These conditions can arise from a variety of factors such as biological agents, chemical exposure, physical injury, or hormonal and developmental changes.
When abnormal tissue develops in the head and neck area, it is referred to as a lesion. Lesions may be benign or malignant (cancerous), and distinguishing between them is essential for proper treatment. At Norwell Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center, Dr. Helal and Dr. Colton conduct thorough head, neck, and oral cavity examinations to evaluate any suspicious areas and determine whether a biopsy is necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
