Routine Oral surgery
What is oral surgery?
Oral (or Maxillofacial) surgery is the surgical specialty
concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting
the mouth, jaws, face and neck.
Why might I be referred to an oral surgeon?
Typically oral surgeons undertake difficult wisdom tooth
extractions and also treat and diagnose many diseases of the oral
cavity. This includes cysts, disorders that are separate to gum
disease affecting soft and hard tissues of the mouth. Other areas
covered include dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, facial
pain, oral medicine and head and neck acupuncture.
Many of these problems can be treated successfully within the
practice and the majority of the oral surgery procedures we
undertake do not require hospitalization.
