Mucosal Biopsies
A biopsy is a small sample of skin or bone taken to allow examination under a microscope. This can be done to identify any changes in appearance or growths that occur in or around the mouth. Most of these changes are harmless and quite common, and treatment for them will depend on the results of the analysis. As only a small sample is taken, this can usually be done under a local anaesthetic with minimal discomfort, and sometimes a small dissolving suture is placed if needed.
