Oral Surgery: Beyond Ordinary Dental Care
A lot of dental problems such as injuries, oral defects and diseases require oral surgery. Also known as oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral surgery can sort out oral health issues such as impacted teeth, tooth loss, jaw problems and other mouth diseases. Treatments involved in oral surgeries can range from minor treatments like extractions to very major procedures such as implants to jaw surgery. The oral surgery can be done in a general dental office and usually an outpatient procedure requiring local or general anaesthesia. The patient can then go home shortly after the treatment has been done as approved by their dentist.
