We provide a full range of oral medicine specialist services. At your initial consultation, a thorough history, medical history and clinical assessment will take place. Depending on your condition, further appointments may be required for oral mucosal biopsies, and/or reviews. You may be asked to undergo further tests, such as blood tests, swabs or imaging, and the results of these will be discussed at a follow-up appointment.
