Oral Pathology - Manhattan, NY

Any abnormal areas or changes the soft tissues of your mouth, face and neck should be evaluated promptly by your general dentist or oral surgery specialist.

Early identification is key when it comes to oral cancer. Please contact us right away for an oral pathology exam if you notice any changes or abnormalities in your mouth or on your face or neck.
