Oral Pathology in Hoover, AL

Oral pathology focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases that affect the mouth, including serious conditions such as oral cancer. The inside of the mouth is typically lined with smooth, coral-pink mucosa, and any changes in its appearance — such as reddish or whitish patches, nonhealing sores, lumps, or difficulty swallowing — can be warning signs of a pathological process. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we monitor and treat conditions affecting the lips, cheeks, gums, palate, and other areas of the mouth and neck. Regular oral cancer self-exams are recommended, and if you notice any concerning changes, we encourage you to contact us at any of our Hoover, Alabaster, Jasper, or Clanton, AL locations for further evaluation and biopsies if necessary.

Oral pathology works by identifying and diagnosing diseases in the mouth through careful examination and diagnostic tests, including screening for mouth cancer. When a patient presents symptoms such as unexplained sores, lumps, or persistent changes in the mouth's appearance, an oral and maxillofacial pathology specialist will conduct a thorough evaluation. This often involves biopsies to analyze tissue samples for signs of malignancy or other pathological conditions. At Koslin & Kahn Oral & Facial Surgery, we prioritize early detection through routine screenings and provide expert care for conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions, offering treatments tailored to each patient's needs.

Dr. Bannon was nothing short of amazing! Surgery only took about 20mins to extract all 4 wisdom teeth. No pain at all and minimal face swelling. Dr. Bannon even called me at the end of the day to check on how I was doing. His assistants were also fantastic. Definitely recommend this place! 10/10
