Biopsies

Expert Diagnostic Care with Dr. Jenny Hernandez at Minty Fresh

Your oral health is closely linked to your overall well-being. When something unusual appears in your mouth—such as a persistent sore, lump, or patch—it’s important to investigate it thoroughly. At Minty Fresh in Coral Gables, FL, Dr. Jenny Hernandez offers safe, precise oral biopsies to help identify any abnormalities early and accurately.

Oral biopsies are an essential tool in diagnosing conditions such as oral cancer, precancerous lesions, infections, or chronic irritation. Getting a biopsy doesn’t always mean something serious—but it does mean we’re taking your health seriously.

What Is an Oral Biopsy?

An oral biopsy is a simple, minimally invasive procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken from the mouth for lab analysis. This is typically done when:

• A lesion or sore doesn’t heal after 2 weeks

• There are unexplained lumps, patches, or color changes

• Persistent swelling or irritation is present

• There’s suspicion of infection or abnormal cell growth

• As part of routine oral cancer screening

At Minty Fresh, we perform soft tissue biopsies in a comfortable, controlled environment using advanced instruments and gentle techniques. Your comfort and peace of mind are always our top priority.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Getting an oral biopsy is usually quick and relatively painless. Here’s how the process works:

1. Consultation & Evaluation – Dr. Hernandez will examine the area of concern and determine if a biopsy is necessary.

2. Local Anesthesia – The area will be numbed to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.

3. Tissue Removal – A small piece of tissue is carefully removed, typically in just a few minutes.

4. Lab Analysis – The sample is sent to a specialized pathology lab for detailed examination.

5. Results & Follow-Up – Once we receive the results (usually within a week), we’ll discuss them with you and, if needed, recommend the appropriate next steps.

Biopsy Does Not Mean Cancer

It’s natural to feel nervous when a biopsy is recommended—but it’s important to remember that many oral biopsies return benign (non-cancerous) results. The goal is simple: identify what’s happening and address it early. In fact, regular screenings and biopsies when needed are among the best ways to prevent serious issues down the road.
