Pathology & Oral Cancer Surgery

In the United States, more than 50,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer yearly. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are unique within dentistry in their ability to diagnose and treat these conditions. They can offer patients various surgical options during treatment to maintain their appearance and function. Make an appointment with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon if you notice any suspicious lumps or sores. When caught early, oral cancer has a survival rate of 80% to 90%.
