Serving patients in the London, Ontario, community, through Belmont Dental (BelmontDentalClinic.ca), Ghasaq Al-Bakkal, DMD, undertakes a comprehensive range of treatments for dental issues. Among the laser modalities Ghasaq Al-Bakkal, DMD, offers her patients is fibroma removal, which involves taking away excess tissue growths that can potentially lead to pre-cancerous cells.
As growths centered beneath the skin, fibromas take the form of lumps and can appear in any region of the body. Benign and non-cancerous at the start, they are primarily of concern for functional and aesthetic reasons. On the functional side, they can generate pain through the pressure they place on surrounding areas. In addition, they can go through malignant degeneration, which can lead to cancer.
For the latter reason alone, it makes sense to have lumps under the skin carefully examined by an experienced practitioner and removed as early as possible. A relatively simple surgical procedure, this can often be undertaken using lasers in a procedure that leaves virtually no scarring.
