Minor Soft Tissue Procedures with Dr Arna Irgens
Minor soft tissue lesions in the oral cavity can appear in various forms, including bumps, ulcers, or discolored patches on the gums, tongue, inner cheeks, or lips. While many of these lesions are benign and harmless, some may require further investigation to rule out more serious conditions.

Who Needs a Minor Soft Tissue Procedure
