Detecting Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
During an oral pathology exam, Dr. Haron will look for possible symptoms of disease, including:
- Visible tumors or cysts
- Unexplained masses in the mouth or neck
- Persistent or bleeding sores
- Discolored areas within the mouth
- Problems with chewing and/or swallowing food
- Chronic hoarseness or sore throat

Treating Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
If Dr. Haron discovers an area of concern, he may remove a portion of the affected tissue to perform a biopsy. This will tell him the nature of your condition and what kind of treatment plan you may need. If he requires the assistance of other specialists, his team will coordinate that. If he can perform your treatment in-office using our technology, he will do so. However, as one of very few oral surgeons in the area with privileges at local hospitals, he has access to an even greater range of equipment and facilities with which to treat you. Guided surgical technology enables him to be extremely precise in his work and deliver predictable results for you.

Reducing Your Risk of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
While some factors contributing to oral cancers are outside your control, you can reduce your risk by avoiding all forms of tobacco, eating a healthy diet, and seeking regular dental care. Dr. Haron also encourages you to perform your own oral pathology exams at home on a regular basis. To do so, do the following:
- Find a mirror and a well-lit location
- Remove any removable dental appliances, such as dentures
- Inspect all sides of your tongue, the roof of your mouth, the inside of your cheeks, and your gums for unusual sensations or appearance
- Feel your neck for lumps and swelling
