Oral Pathology
We perform an oral cancer screening on every patient at every consultation visit.
The inside of the mouth is normally lined with a special type of skin (mucosa) that is smooth and coral pink in color. Any alteration in this appearance could be a warning sign for a pathological process. The most serious of these is oral cancer. The following can be signs at the beginning of a pathological process or cancerous growth:
- Reddish patches (erythroplasia) or whitish patches (leukoplakia) in the mouth
- A sore that fails to heal and bleeds easily
- A lump or thickening on the skin lining the inside of the mouth
- Chronic sore throat or hoarseness and/or difficulty in chewing or swallowing
These changes can be detected on the lips, cheeks, palate, and gum tissue around the teeth, tongue, face, and/or neck. Pain does not always occur with pathology, and curiously, is not often associated with oral cancer. However, any patient with facial and/or oral pain without an obvious cause or reason may also be at risk for oral cancer.
We would recommend performing an oral cancer self-examination monthly. Remember that your mouth is one of your body’s most important warning systems. Do not ignore suspicious lumps or sores. Please contact us so we can assist you with any questions or concerns.

Very satisfied. 2 children had wisdom teeth out with Dr. Hullett and it was a very no fuss, no nonsense procedure which we loved. Will definitely come back with the 3rd. Staff was all very friendly and helpful as well.

I was referred by my dentist for removal of a wisdom tooth. I was in significant pain and they were able to schedule me quickly. The office staff and assistant were kind and efficient. I had a heightened level of anxiety, primarily due to anesthesia. I did not get the warm fuzzies from the Drs. Hullett. They were not rude but they are not hand holders, at least in my experience. What I did get, though, was expedient, safe, and expert care. If you’re nervous, muster your courage before your procedure and trust that they will deliver the care you need. They will. I would definitely return and would definitely recommend.

I went to get 2 wisdom teeth extracted, and was so nervous, first time ever. I've heard of so many horror stories of people getting their wisdom teeth pulled. I tell you what, it was total opposite of horror. Both Dr. Anu and Jason Hullett did a tremendous job. They're both very kind, respectful, caring, and excellent at what they do. I had little to no pain after surgery, most definitely no swelling at all! Family and friends were amazed at the recovery time, and zero complications. I highly recommend Dr. Anu and Jason Hullet. Thank you Dr's!

My son needed to have three wisdom teeth removed. The surgery ended up being shorter in duration and less expensive than we had been quoted. No negative side effects, no heavy pain meds needed and he was back to normal within a week. Would highly recommend this team.

I came to Dr. Hullett after a tooth extraction by regular dentist could not be completed due to a stubborn root piece. It was important to get the last part out soon, and the office promptly accommodated, finding room on the same day for a visit and the needed surgery. The first thing I want in a dental office is that they get it right, and I was impressed from the front desk, to the aide who took me through all preparation, and finally Dr. Jason who completed the job. I also want compassion, and to feel secure while I'm getting the needed anesthesia, which I was. After 6 decades and more than a few dental mis-adventures, I feel this office was one of the best I've ever visited.

Everyone was so great when I came in to get my wisdom teeth taken out. I scheduled my appointment very late about a week before I left for school, but they were so great and were able to squeeze me in and find a time that worked for me early in the morning. I definitely would recommend them!!

My 11 year old son had to have a tooth extraction which required general anesthesia. He was anxious and worried and is very inquisitive. Dr's Hullet were beyond compassionate, warm and open to answer all his questions from the initial consultation to the procedure day. The staff is so polite and friendly as well. The key differencing factor that really sets these two Dr's apart is their dedication to their patients. Dr. Anu Hullett asked me to come by since they were still in the same office the day of his procedure so she can check him out, both Dr's checked him out and again answered all this 11 years old question with patience and reassured him and I that everything is fine. They go above and beyond and are truly available to you. I am beyond pleased with the service received and the Dr's attentive and passion beyond what they do. I highly recommend Dr's Hullet due to these qualities which are hard to come by these days. Thank you Dr's Hullet and staff!

Dr. Hullett and his entire staff are absolutely wonderful. My daughter had oral surgery today performed by Dr. Hullett and his wife, and they made her feel so at ease. Everyone at his office and the surgical center were very pleasant and went above and beyond the level of customer service that is seldom seen these days. I give this group my highest of recommendations.
