While your dental visit generally focuses on your teeth, there are a number of other parts of the oral and facial anatomy that are examined as well, including areas around and inside the mouth, as well as outside the mouth. If an abnormality such as a tumour or Fibroma is discovered, Neighbourhood Dental is here to help. We are pleased to offer tumour/fibroma removal and biopsy to patients requiring intervention.

What is a Tumour/Fibroma?

Tumour or fibromas, which can sometimes be found in the oral cavity, are essentially masses of connective tissue that usually grow in response to trauma or localized irritation. Depending on their makeup, they can be soft or hard, and pink or white. They are usually benign, but they can get bigger when irritated or simply over time. The most common places to find a tumour or fibroma are on the top or sides of the mouth, inside of your cheeks, or anywhere on your lips.

How to Treat a Tumour/Fibroma

Removal of the tumour/fibroma is usually the best treatment. A surgically trained dentist or oral surgeon will usually remove portions of the tumour/fibroma to flatten the skin profile, and then close the resulting wound with stitches or a laser. Sometimes your dentist will determine that a biopsy of the tissue removed should be done simply as precaution to rule out the presence of cancer.

The treatment and removal of a tumour/fibroma is generally safe and uncomplicated, and the healing process is usually short, allowing you to continue with your regular oral care despite such a specific dental problem
