Oral lesion care begins with a detailed examination of the affected tissue. Dr. Valentina Baez evaluates the color, size, texture, duration, and location of the lesion to determine whether it is inflammatory, infectious, traumatic, fungal, precancerous, or related to a systemic condition. Digital imaging, gentle probing, and medical history review help identify the cause.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include:
Topical or oral medication
Removal of irritants such as sharp fillings or appliances
Laser therapy to reduce inflammation or remove lesions
Biopsy for persistent or suspicious areas
Surgical excision of benign growths
Follow-up exams to monitor healing

Because the mouth is sensitive and constantly exposed to bacteria, small changes can quickly become uncomfortable—or concerning. Some lesions are caused by irritation, stress, or minor trauma, while others may signal infection or disease. Persistent sores lasting longer than two weeks should always be evaluated to ensure proper diagnosis and care.
Early evaluation prevents complications, supports fast healing, and gives patients peace of mind. Many lesions are harmless, but assessing them promptly helps rule out conditions that may require immediate treatment or monitoring. Addressing oral lesions early protects your comfort, confidence, and long-term health.
