Oral Surgery
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is recognized as an official dental specialty by the American Dental Association - though in some countries, it's considered a medical specialty.
Extensive post-graduate education is required to become an oral surgeon, including specific training in surgery and general medicine. However, it is possible for other dentists to perform some minor surgical procedures.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeries are used to treat everything from oral cancer to fractured jaws. One of the most common oral surgeries is wisdom teeth removal. Surgery is typically performed with IV sedation, which requires special training in and of itself.
Oral surgery makes impossible cases possible, thanks to more and more advances. From basic extractions to full reconstructive procedures, this specialty can greatly impact the quality of your life.
