Dental - Oral Medicine

Oral Medicine Specialists at EMC Hospital are specialist dentists who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring various diseases and disorders of the soft tissues of the oral cavity, such as the tongue, lips, inner cheeks, palate, floor of the mouth, and salivary glands. Oral Medicine focuses on the early detection and management of oral conditions related to infection, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, systemic diseases, and even precancerous lesions and oral cancer.

Before determining treatment, the Oral Medicine Specialist Dentist at EMC Hospital will conduct a thorough evaluation through a medical interview, a clinical examination of the oral cavity, and, if necessary, additional tests such as laboratory tests, cultures, cytology, biopsies, or other tests appropriate to the patient's condition. This approach helps the doctor establish an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate therapy for each patient.

At EMC Hospital, Oral Medicine Specialists treat various conditions, such as recurrent canker sores, non-healing mouth sores, fungal infections (candidiasis), viral infections of the oral cavity, salivary gland disorders, dry mouth ( xerostomia ), pain or burning in the mouth, white or red patches in the oral cavity, lichen planus, pemphigus, lupus with oral manifestations, oral mucosal disorders due to drugs or systemic diseases, to early detection of precancerous lesions and oral cancer. Doctors also treat oral complaints related to general medical conditions such as diabetes, immune disorders, and cancer therapy.

EMC Hospital's Oral Medicine Specialist Dentist Services focus not only on treating oral disorders but also on identifying the relationship between oral health and overall health. In many cases, oral disorders can be early signs of systemic disease, making proper examinations crucial for early detection and treatment.
