Having received training in both general medicine as well as dentistry, Dr. Day is an ideal specialist to examine and diagnose any abnormalities in or around the mouth.  Abnormalities include:

• Any changes in skin color
• The presence of sores
• Thickening of the skin inside the mouth
• Discomfort
• Chronic sore or dry throat

Most often, these abnormalities do not seriously affect your health and may be easily treated.  However, in some cases, they may be indicative of more serious health issues such as oral cancer.  It is important that if you detect any changes in the appearance of your mouth or gum tissue that you have the area examined by a specialist.
