Early Detection, Accurate Diagnosis & Preventive Care at Mission Smile Dental Centre
What is Oral Medicine?
Oral Medicine focuses on the diagnosis and non-surgical management of oral mucosal diseases, chronic oral pain, ulcers, infections, and precancerous conditions. It bridges dentistry and medicine to identify underlying systemic or local causes of oral symptoms.
