What is Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery?

This is a Surgical Specialty of Dentistry & Medicine which focuses on the surgical treatment of disorders and diseases of the teeth, mouth, face and jaws.

Where does the Surgery take place?

If it is a simple dental extraction or a small surgical procedure, it is often undertaken in the Surgeon’s rooms with an injection to numb the area. If the surgery is more complicated and long, or the patient is anxious or frail, the surgery is undertaken in a hospital either under twilight anaesthesia or general anaesthesia where the patient is put fully to sleep.
