Oral Biopsy
In general, you should take note of any changes occurring in the skin of the gums, the skin on the inside of the cheek, the tongue, or the floor or roof of the mouth, or any swelling in the bony areas of the mouth or face. If you or your dentist or oral surgeon notes any irregular skin patches or growths of any kind, a biopsy will be done to diagnose the condition. While the large majority of such growths are benign (not cancerous), it is very important to determine this for sure with a laboratory test. Furthermore, many benign growths may require treatment, removal or monitoring as well.
