Detecting and Treating Oral Pathologies
Oral pathology refers to diseases affecting the mouth, jaws, and related structures. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent the progression of potentially serious conditions. At Western OMS, Dr Franc Henze provides expert care for a broad spectrum of oral pathologies, ranging from benign growths to more complex cases that may require surgical intervention.
Common Oral Pathologies Treated at Western OMS
- Oral Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs that can develop in the soft tissues or jawbone
- Benign Tumours: Non-cancerous growths occurring in the oral cavity or jaw
- Oral Cancer: Dr Henze collaborates with oncology specialists to provide coordinated, comprehensive care for oral cancer patients
The Oral Pathology Treatment Process
- Initial Examination and Imaging: We utilise X-rays, CT scans, and biopsies to assess and confirm the nature of oral pathologies
- Treatment Plan: Based on the diagnosis, treatment may involve surgical removal or biopsy of the affected area
- Post-Operative Care: Dr Henze provides detailed care instructions following surgery to support healing and reduce complications
Why Early Detection Is Important
Many oral pathologies may develop without obvious symptoms. Routine dental check-ups and prompt evaluation of any unusual changes in the mouth are essential for early detection, significantly improving treatment outcomes and long-term health.
