Oral pathology is the study of diseases involving the mouth including teeth, gums, bones, glands, and joints as well as the muscles and skin surrounding the mouth. Oral pathology also involves the diagnosis and treatments of such diseases.
The four most common diseases of the mouth include herpes (fever blisters and cold sores), thrush (a yeast overgrowth causing red bumps and white patches), black hairy tongue (a buildup of dead skin cells), and oral cancer.
