Oral Health Consultations
For ulcers, infections & more
Something doesn’t feel right? You know your mouth better than anyone. When things feel off — unexplained sores, persistent ulcers, swelling, strange tastes, or pain that just won’t quit — it’s time to get clarity, fast. Our expert oral health consultations provide answers, relief, and a clear path forward.
Mouth discomfort can be worrying
Mouth discomfort can be worrying, especially when the cause isn’t obvious. Whether you're dealing with recurring ulcers, an unusual lesion, signs of infection, or pain that doesn't match any obvious dental issue, we’re here to help you figure it out.
Our oral health consultations are focused, supportive, and thorough. You'll leave with more than just a diagnosis — you’ll leave with peace of mind, guidance, and a real plan.
What Is an Oral Health Consultation?
An oral health consultation is a focused appointment designed to assess and diagnose non-routine concerns. These might include ulcers, infections, jaw pain, gum swelling, oral lesions, or soft tissue abnormalities. It’s not always about teeth — sometimes your body is trying to tell you something, and your mouth is where the signal starts.
Why This Matters
- Dr. Mahum Sarfraz
The mouth is a complex environment. Pain or inflammation might signal an infection, immune response, trauma, or even systemic illness. Our consultations include a comprehensive review of your oral health, history, lifestyle, and relevant medical background to give you accurate answers.
What We Look For
- Recurrent or non-healing ulcers
- Fungal infections (like oral thrush)
- Bacterial infections (abscesses, gum infections)
- Oral lesions or white/red patches
- Viral flare-ups (cold sores, herpes)
- Dry mouth, burning sensations
- Soft tissue trauma or injury
- Salivary gland issues
Common Causes of Oral Issues
- Stress and immunity fluctuations
- Medication side effects
- Poor-fitting dentures or dental appliances
- Poor nutrition or vitamin deficiencies
- Bacterial/viral/fungal infections
- Underlying health conditions like diabetes or anemia
Why Fast Diagnosis Matters
- The Passion Dental Team
Many oral issues can resolve quickly with early diagnosis and proper care. But when left untreated, infections can spread, chronic pain can develop, and some conditions may even indicate early signs of more serious health concerns. That’s why we always take your concerns seriously.
Referral-Backed Care
If needed, we work closely with local GPs, specialists, or oral pathologists to ensure you're supported with the right care, fast.
What to Expect
1. Tell Us What You’re Feeling
You’ll have time to explain your symptoms and concerns in your own words. We’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand what you’re experiencing.
2. A Thorough Oral Assessment
Your dentist will examine all soft tissues — gums, cheeks, tongue, palate, throat, and jaw area. We may use special lights or imaging if needed.
3. Medical History Review
We’ll explore potential contributing factors, including medications, allergies, stress, and medical history.
4. Professional Guidance
You’ll receive a diagnosis (if possible), or a short-term management plan plus a follow-up pathway, which might include referrals or further tests.
5. Immediate Relief If Needed
If you’re in pain or discomfort, we’ll address it during the visit with medication, soothing treatments, or minor procedures.
