About Us
Oral Medicine encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of oral disorders, while Maxillofacial Radiology utilizes advanced imaging technologies to assist in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for a wide range of oral health concerns.
The oral cavity is the major portal of entry to the body and is equipped with formidable mechanisms for sensing the environment and defending against various pathogens. It serves as a window to the body because many important systemic disorders manifest here. The oral physician is the first medical person to encounter such disorders.
Poor oral health has been linked with various systemic disorders like cardiovascular disorders, malignancies, low birth weight preterm babies, haematological disorders and osteoporosis which have certain oral manifestations. These oral manifestations must be properly diagnosed if the patient is to receive appropriate treatment.
