An oral pathologist is a dental specialist who is trained to diagnose and study the diseases of the mouth, teeth, and jaws. They use a combination of medical and dental knowledge to study the tissue samples, cells, and fluids of the oral cavity to identify and diagnose diseases. They also study the causes and effects of these diseases, as well as the ways to prevent and treat them. They work closely with dentists, oral surgeons, and other medical specialists to provide an accurate diagnosis and develop a treatment plan for patients. They also provide consultative services to other dental specialists and conduct research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. They play an important role in the early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer and other serious oral diseases.
