Stomatology
This is the field of dentistry concerned with lesions of the oral cavity. Although such lesions can be totally harmless, they can also be serious enough to warrant medical and/or surgical treatment and/or radiotherapy.
Regular visits to your dentist allow a thorough check of your oral cavity and ensure any lesions are spotted early – particularly important if there are other risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, etc. Early diagnosis means more straightforward treatment and faster recovery.
