Oral Medicine

Oral medicine is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing and managing complex health conditions that affect the mouth, jaws, and surrounding areas. It involves understanding how systemic diseases like diabetes or autoimmune disorders can impact oral health, as well as treating conditions such as ulcers, infections, and persistent pain. Oral medicine practitioners often collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care. They use medical knowledge and diagnostic tools to identify underlying issues and develop effective treatment plans to maintain oral and overall health.
