What Is Tissue Biopsy?

• The reason for a biopsy is to identify any unknown lesion, ulceration, growth, swelling, or sore in the mouth.
• Your dentist may refer you to our office for either a soft or hard tissue biopsy to allow for a diagnosis.
• A Biopsy is the process of removing a small piece of tissue for a Oral Pathologist to determine under microscope the proper diagnosis.
• Getting a proper diagnosis is the first step in getting the proper treatment.
