Oral pathology
Oral and maxillofacial pathology focuses on disease and inquiries affecting the oral cavity.
From cavities to oral and maxillofacial cancer, dental diseases are extremely common and affect millions. Yet early detection is necessary in diagnosing and treating disorders affecting the mouth, teeth, face, or neck.
Scheduling regular oral pathology exams with an Oral Surgeon helps minimise the negative effects of oral pathology.
Normally the inside lining of the mouth is a smooth, coral pink in colour. Any variation from this could be a warning sign of oral pathology. Pain doesn’t always occur with all mouth diseases or oral cancers.
Mr Bruzual has years of experience in this field and can detect any issues leading to oral pathology.

Care From Jaw Surgery Expert
If you’re living with serious jaw problems, the debilitating consequences can diminish your day-to-day life. Eating and speaking are painful and difficult. You have jaw and joint pain, sore facial muscles, and headaches.
An unbalanced facial appearance, protruding jaw, or recessed chin make it a struggle to feel confident and attractive. The relieving news is that the solution to your chronic and sometimes complex functional and cosmetic issues can frequently be solved with corrective jaw surgery.
If your jaw pain is keeping you from living a comfortable, functional, and confident life, it may be time to meet with an oral surgeon.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons have spent years of additional education and experience outside of dental hospitals to specialise in procedures like corrective jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery.
