Oral Medicine is a dental specialty representing the interface between Dentistry and Medicine. Oral Medicine specialty deals with mouth and facial problems that could be related to systemic diseases and not directly related to teeth. These problems may involve oral skin problems related to dermatological/skin diseases, Jaw joint pain, mouth and face pain not related to a dental pain, Oral cancer, and snoring and sleep related dental problems. Contact us and book your consultation to know more about your problem.
Unlike many dental procedures, Oral Medicine focuses on diagnosis and treatment planning.
During your first consultation we review:
Following this assessment, we determine the most appropriate next step.
That may include
• reassurance that the condition is a normal anatomical variation
• arranging blood investigations
• prescribing medication
• recommending a biopsy
• organising surgery
• referring you to an appropriate specialist
• arranging follow-up
Many patients do not require an initial face-to-face consultation to reach these decisions.
