Oral Medicine is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and managing diseases and conditions affecting the mouth and surrounding structures. It combines aspects of medicine and dentistry to treat various oral health issues, including infections, oral cancers, and autoimmune disorders. Practitioners in Oral Medicine work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. They may perform biopsies, prescribe medications, and offer guidance on managing chronic conditions like xerostomia (dry mouth) or oral lichen planus. This field emphasizes the importance of oral health in overall well-being.
