Oral Cancers

Cancers can affect the inner lining of the mouth, the tongue or the floor of the mouth. Most of those cancer can be detected early when changes in the color or texture of the mouth lining are observed. 

Because many such changes in the mouth lining represent reactive lesions or other non-cancer diseases, a small sample from the area showing most changes under local anaesthesia is often needed to establish the diagnosis.

The Oral Medicine consultancy clinic at UHS is one of very few clinics in the United Arab Emirates. It specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of diseases that represent medical problems appearing in the mouth and the head and neck area in general.

Our consultant has a long and advanced clinical expertise in diagnosing complex oral diseases. Those include lesions affecting tongue and oral mucosa (the inner lining of the mouth), mouth cancer and pre-cancerous lesions, disturbances in saliva secretions, painful conditions affecting the head and neck area, including disorders affecting the jaw joint, known as Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorders (or TMD).
