The Oral Pathology Process: Step-by-Step

  1. Initial Examination and Consultation:
    • A thorough oral examination is conducted to identify abnormalities.
    • Diagnostic tests, such as imaging or laboratory analysis, are used for further evaluation at our Dubai clinic.
  2. Biopsy (if necessary):
    • A small sample of suspicious tissue is removed and sent to a specialized laboratory for analysis.
  3. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning:
    • Based on the biopsy results, a personalized treatment plan is developed, which may include surgical removal or other interventions.
  4. Surgical or Non-Surgical Treatment:
    • Lesions or growths are carefully removed, and adjacent tissues are preserved whenever possible.
    • Non-surgical treatments, such as medications, may be recommended for certain conditions.
  5. Follow-Up Care:
    • Post-treatment follow-ups ensure complete healing and monitor for any recurrence.

Post-Treatment Care Tips:

  • Maintain excellent oral hygiene to prevent infections and promote healing.
