Oral pathology is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on identifying and managing oral diseases. Major categories of oral diseases include tooth loss, gum disease, cancer, cavities, and infections. An oral pathologist, a highly trained dentist, can diagnose the underlying cause of symptoms such as bleeding, sensitivity, and discomfort in a patient's mouth. You may have developed an oral disease if you experience difficulty in speaking, swallowing, chewing, and smiling or if you are experiencing gum pain.

Dental care and treatment are anchored by oral pathology. If the cause of symptoms has been identified, it is possible to tailor an effective treatment to address both the symptoms and the cause. Administering proper treatment on time also prevents adverse complications of oral diseases. Individuals who smoke, consume alcohol, consume an unhealthy diet, or have poor oral hygiene are at high risk of developing oral diseases.

Visiting your dentist for an oral and maxillofacial examination and treatment can help prevent oral diseases. You can have two or more appointments with your dentist annually.

The recipient of a DMD degree from the University of Louisville, Christopher C. Babcock is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Louisville Oral Surgery and Dental Implants. Experienced in oral pathology, Christopher C. Babcock MD has successfully performed various dental implant and tooth extraction procedures.

The surgical act of removing a tooth, dental extraction is mainly performed to free the mouth of defective teeth that are damaged from decay or trauma. However, dental extraction is not limited to this purpose: It is also used by dentists to prepare the mouth for tooth alignment surgery (orthodontia), and also to remove teeth that are unable to erupt. In some cases, dental extraction can also be performed to prevent mouth infection.

If a tooth becomes damaged or decayed, this fault may extend deep into its pulp - the inner part of a tooth that contains blood vessels and nerves. When this occurs, bacteria in the mouth can easily penetrate the tooth to inhabit the pulp, leading to infection. If it is mild, the infection can be treated with antibiotics. However, in situations where the infection cannot be treated with antibiotics, a dental extraction may be necessary.
