“Dr. Newey has literally saved my life!”
“Dr. Newey has literally saved my life! My jaw was locked and I had extreme pain every day for months. From the first call I made to the office Dr. Newey and his team gave me fantastic care. He recently surgically repaired my jaw and I have never felt better. I have recovered quickly and it is all thanks to Dr. Newey. I seriously wish I could give him 10,000 stars because he is a miracle worker.”

What Are the Signs You Should Have Checked?
The inside of your mouth is normally lined with smooth, pink tissue. Any noticeable changes, especially ones that don’t heal, may be a sign of an underlying condition. Oral pathology exams can help detect serious concerns early, including oral cancer. Common signs that warrant a professional evaluation include:
- Red or white patches (erythroplasia or leukoplakia) on the lips, cheeks, or gums
- Bleeding sores that don’t heal after two weeks
- Lumps or thickened areas in the lining of your mouth or tongue
- Persistent hoarseness, sore throat, or difficulty swallowing
- Unexplained facial or jaw pain — even without visible symptoms
Oral cancer doesn’t always cause pain, especially in the early stages. That’s why it’s so important to schedule a comprehensive oral pathology exam or oral cancer screening in Clearfield, just minutes from Layton. Catching issues early leads to better outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Pathology in Clearfield, UT
Can I check for signs of oral cancer at home?
Yes. A monthly self-exam can help you notice early changes like sores, lumps, or patches. Use a mirror and good lighting to check your cheeks, gums, tongue, and the floor of your mouth. If something doesn’t look or feel right, schedule an evaluation with an oral surgeon for peace of mind.
Does an oral pathology exam hurt?
Most oral exams are painless and noninvasive. If further testing like a biopsy is needed, we’ll discuss sedation and anesthesia options to ensure you stay comfortable throughout the process.
Do I need a referral to schedule an exam?
No referral is necessary. If you’ve noticed a sore, lump, or change in your mouth, you can contact our office directly to schedule an oral pathology exam. We welcome patients from Layton who are looking for expert oral disease diagnosis just a short drive away in Clearfield.
