Accurate Diagnosis for Better Oral Health
An oral lesion is any abnormal area, ulcer, lump, white patch, or red patch that develops inside the mouth. While many oral lesions are harmless and heal naturally, some may require further evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
An oral biopsy is a simple diagnostic procedure in which a small sample of tissue is removed and sent to a pathology laboratory for microscopic examination. It helps identify conditions such as chronic infections, inflammatory diseases, precancerous changes, and oral cancer.
At Dr. Rashid's Dental Care, Gorakhpur, we carefully evaluate suspicious oral lesions and recommend a biopsy only when clinically indicated.
An oral biopsy is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, a small tissue sample is collected from the affected area and examined by an oral pathologist.
The biopsy helps your dentist establish an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Your dentist may recommend an oral biopsy if you have:
Not every oral lesion requires a biopsy. Your dentist will first perform a thorough clinical examination before deciding whether one is necessary.

The entire lesion is removed. This may be appropriate for small lesions that can be completely excised.
A circular instrument is used to obtain a small tissue sample from selected lesions.
