What is an Oral Biopsy?
An oral biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of tissue is removed from a lesion or abnormal area in the mouth for further examination. This procedure helps in diagnosing conditions like oral cancer, infections, and benign growths. Early detection through a biopsy can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Common Signs that Indicate the Need for a Biopsy:
- Persistent Mouth Sores: Ulcers or sores that do not heal within two weeks.
- Unusual Lumps or Growths: Any abnormal lumps in the mouth, gums, or throat.
- White or Red Patches: Discolored areas in the mouth that do not go away.
- Unexplained Pain or Bleeding: Continuous pain, tenderness, or bleeding in the mouth without a clear cause.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to seek an evaluation by a professional oral surgeon.

At our New York office, we follow a meticulous process to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment:
