Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral & #maxillofacial #surgery which is also

commonly known as oral surgery includes
the diagnosis and surgical treatment of
diseases, #injuries and defects of face, jaws,
teeth and #mouth.
Extraction of #diseased and impacted or
fractured tooth, surgical placement of dental
implants in jaws, surgical correction of jaws
when there is misalignment of teeth due to
jaw abnormalities in cases where
orthodontic #treatment alone is not enough,
cleft lip and palate surgeries, treatment of
cysts and tumors, jaw joint surgeries,
surgical treatment to relieve sleep apnea by
removing soft #tissue at back portion of
mouth or lower jaw are some of the
procedures done in this department.
Ideally you will #schedule an appointment
and have plenty of time to think about your
options, which is true for any minor surgical
procedures like #tooth extraction or some
facial procedures that you might have
planned in advance. But most of the oral
surgical procedures are emergency
situations, if you #likely suffered an injury
that requires immediate medical attention,
possibly even surgery, your dentist might
refer you to an oral surgeon. When that
happens, you should not worry, as these
surgeons are #capable of treating almost any
injury that is related to your face, mouth,
teeth, neck or #jaw and are capably working
in either a controlled or an #emergency
situation
