Oral surgery
Oral surgery is a highly specialized branch of dental medicine that deals with surgical procedures in the mouth and jaw area. This branch of dentistry plays a crucial role in addressing various issues in the oral cavity and jaw. In addition to alleviating discomfort and pain for patients, surgical procedures in oral surgery are often necessary to prevent more serious consequences, such as tooth loss or damage to surrounding structures.
Here are a few examples of surgical procedures that fall under the domain of oral surgery:
Removing damaged or unnecessary teeth often requires a surgical procedure to ensure complete and safe extraction.
After tooth extraction, complications such as bleeding or infections may occur, requiring prompt intervention by an oral surgeon.
Oral surgeons address infections that can spread to the jaw and other parts of the head and neck.

Removal of cystic lesions and other benign changes in oral tissues.
Repair of bones and teeth damaged by injuries or trauma.
Early diagnosis and removal of oral tumors to prevent further progression and complications.
Managing conditions that affect salivary glands, such as inflammation or tumors.
