Diagnosis
Diagnosis typically involves a doctor or dentist carrying out a simple physical examination to determine the problem and advise on actions that should be taken. If a medical professional is unsure or symptoms last longer than expected, cell scrapings may be taken from the roof of the mouth for a biopsy.
These cells are scrutinized under a microscope by a doctor to determine the cause of the issue and what further action may be required.
