Concerned About a Lump, Sore, or Tissue Change? We Can Help.

Strange lump? Lingering sore? Something just not feeling right in your mouth or jaw?

The mouth and surrounding head and neck area can develop a wide range of conditions—some harmless, others more serious. At Sunridge Oral Surgery, our team is trained to identify and treat both benign and malignant (non-cancerous and cancerous) diseases affecting the hard and soft tissues of your head, neck, jaws, and mouth.

What Should You Watch For?

The inside of your mouth should normally look smooth and pink. If you notice something unusual, it’s worth having it checked out—especially if it hasn’t gone away on its own.

Here are some signs that may indicate a concern:

• Red or white patches inside the mouth
• A lump, bump, or thickened area
• A sore that doesn’t heal
• Tissue that bleeds easily
• Difficulty chewing or swallowing
• Pain, numbness, or altered sensation
• Ongoing sore throat or voice changes
• Swelling, color changes, or unusual growths

These symptoms don’t always mean something serious—but they’re important enough to investigate.

What Happens During a Consultation?

At your visit, we’ll:

• Review your health history
• Perform a thorough clinical exam
• Order imaging (like ultrasound, CT, or MRI) if needed
• Recommend a biopsy if further testing is required

If a diagnosis is made, we’ll walk you through exactly what it means and discuss the best next steps—whether surgical or non-surgical.

• Oral cancer
