Noticing Something Unusual? Let’s Take a Closer Look.

Lumps, sores, or tissue changes in your mouth or jaw can be unsettling—but they don’t always mean something serious. At Airdrie Oral Surgery, we’re trained to evaluate and treat a wide range of head and neck conditions, from minor cysts to more serious concerns like oral cancer.

If something feels off, it’s worth checking. We’re here to help you find answers—without panic or pressure.

What Signs Should You Look Out For?

While every case is different, here are some common things that may need a closer look:

• A sore that isn’t healing
• Red or white patches in the mouth
• A lump, bump, or swelling
• Tissue that bleeds easily or looks thickened
• Pain or numbness in the face or mouth
• Trouble swallowing or chewing
• Ongoing sore throat or voice changes
• Any sudden or unexplained change in tissue color or texture

These symptoms don’t automatically mean something dangerous—but if they last more than two weeks, it’s time to investigate.

What Happens During an Evaluation?

At your consultation, we’ll:

• Review your health history
• Perform a detailed exam of the area
• Order imaging (like ultrasound, CT, or MRI) if needed
• Recommend a biopsy if a tissue sample is required for diagnosis

Once we understand what’s going on, we’ll explain everything clearly, answer your questions, and go over your treatment options—whether they’re surgical or not.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Our team evaluates and manages a range of conditions, including:

• Oral cancer and pre-cancerous lesions
• Benign tumors and cysts of the jaw
