Oral Medicine and Radiology
In Coimbatore, Kochi, Kannur & Calicut
Oral medicine and radiology is the dental specialty focused on diagnosing conditions of the mouth, jaw, face and surrounding structures using clinical examination, dental imaging and diagnostic investigation. If you have a persistent mouth sore, unexplained jaw pain, white or red patches in your mouth or a dental problem that needs imaging before treatment can be planned, this is the right department.
At Elite Dental Studio, our oral medicine and radiology team offers specialist diagnosis and dental imaging support at our clinics in Coimbatore, Calicut, Kochi and Kannur. Free OPG X-ray is available for new patients at consultation.
What Is an OPG X-Ray?
An OPG (orthopantomogram) is a panoramic dental X-ray that shows all your teeth, both jaws, the jaw joint and surrounding bone in one image. It is used to check wisdom teeth position, plan implants, assess gum bone levels, plan orthodontic treatment and screen for conditions that affect the whole jaw.
Elite Dental Studio offers a free OPG X-ray for new patients as part of the first consultation. This gives your dentist a full view of your dental condition before recommending treatment.

When Should You See an Oral Medicine Specialist?
Book a consultation if you have:
- Mouth ulcers or sores that have not healed in more than two weeks.
- White or red patches inside your mouth that appeared without an obvious cause.
- A burning sensation in your mouth or on your tongue that keeps returning.
- Jaw pain, clicking, locking or difficulty opening your mouth fully.
- Swelling, lumps or unusual changes in the gum, tongue or cheek tissue.
- Facial pain that does not have a clear dental cause.
- A need for OPG, CBCT or dental X-ray before implant, orthodontic or surgical treatment.
TMJ and Jaw Pain: What Can Be Done
TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. Problems with this joint can cause jaw pain, clicking when opening or closing the mouth, difficulty chewing and headaches.
Our oral medicine team checks the joint movement, bite relationship and facial muscles before recommending treatment. Management options include bite splints, jaw exercises, anti-inflammatory support and in some cases referral for specialist care. Severe structural jaw problems may require input from our maxillofacial surgery team.

I had a very peaceful and pleasant experience visiting the place. I got my wisdom tooth extracted. The doctors (Dr.Sandhya & Dr.Siddharth) and other staffs were very inviting and comforting, and walked me through the procedures very clearly. Would definitely recommend any one looking for a good place for their dental related consultations.
