At North Raleigh Dental Studio, your health and safety are our top priorities. That’s why we offer Brush Biopsy services — a simple, painless, and highly effective way to detect early signs of oral cancer and other abnormal tissue changes. Early diagnosis saves lives, and with a quick, non-invasive brush biopsy, we can catch potential concerns before they become serious.
What Is a Brush Biopsy?
A brush biopsy is a non-surgical procedure used to collect cells from suspicious areas inside the mouth — such as the cheeks, gums, tongue, or roof of the mouth. Using a small, soft brush, your dentist gently gathers cells from the surface and slightly below the surface of the tissue, without the need for an incision.
This sample is then sent to a specialized laboratory for evaluation, helping to identify abnormal, pre-cancerous, or cancerous cells early — when treatment is most successful.
Why Might You Need a Brush Biopsy?
Your dentist may recommend a brush biopsy if they notice:
- Unexplained white or red patches
- Persistent sores that don’t heal
- Thickened areas inside the mouth
- Unusual lumps or bumps
- Persistent tenderness, pain, or numbness
It’s important to remember that many oral abnormalities are harmless. However, a brush biopsy helps us rule out more serious conditions, providing you with peace of mind — or swift action if needed.
Benefits of Brush Biopsy
- Quick and Painless: No needles, incisions, or stitches required.
- Highly Accurate: Helps detect cellular changes at an early stage.
- Early Intervention: Improves outcomes by identifying problems before they advance.
- Peace of Mind: Get clear answers about unusual oral changes.
