What to Know

Why a Biopsy May Be Recommended

A biopsy is used to examine tissue more closely when an area looks unusual or has not healed as expected. It can help identify the cause of persistent changes and support timely treatment planning.

Persistent Sores

Areas that do not heal within a normal timeframe may need further evaluation.


Unusual Lumps

Changes in texture, swelling, or tissue growth can sometimes require a biopsy.


White or Red Patches

Discolored areas in the mouth may need closer assessment to understand what is causing them.


Ongoing Monitoring

If a concern has been observed over time, a biopsy may provide the information needed to plan care with confidence.
