What to Look for in an Oral Pathology Specialist

Oral pathologists typically work in laboratory settings and may not see patients directly. If you need a consultation, look for a specialist who is board certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and affiliated with a reputable medical center or academic institution.
