Oral Pathology: Lennox Hill NYC

Oral Cancer Examinations in Midtown Manhattan

The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process. The most serious of these is oral cancer. If you notice any changes to the interior of your mouth, please do not wait.

Contact Dr. Greenberg to determine if you need an appointment. Read testimonials from our oral pathology patients.

The following can be signs at the beginning of a pathological process or cancerous growth:

  • Reddish patches (erythroplasia) or whitish patches (leukoplakia) in the mouth
  • A sore that fails to heal and bleeds easily
  • A lump or thickening on the skin lining the inside of the mouth
  • Chronic sore throat or hoarseness and/or difficulty in chewing or swallowing

These changes can be detected on the lips, cheeks, palate, and gum tissue around the teeth, tongue, face, and/or neck. Pain does not always occur with pathology, and curiously, is not often associated with oral cancer. However, any patient with facial and/or oral pain without an obvious cause or reason may also be at risk for oral cancer.

We would recommend performing an oral cancer self-examination monthly. Remember that your mouth is one of your body’s most important warning systems. Do not ignore suspicious lumps or sores. Please contact us so we can assist you with any questions or concerns.

Patient Review by Julie B

It was very difficult to find an oral surgeon for my 6yo son who accepted my insurance. We finally found Dr. Greenberg whose staff were so kind to fit my son in quickly and Dr. Greenberg was so calm and great with my son for the surgery.

Patient Review by Joel G

Went for removal of a small cyst from lower gum. Everything was explained clearly, the procedure went smoothly, and I was informed that the biopsy showed nothing serious a week later. Very pleasant experience.
