Oral surgery is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the treatment of diseases, injuries, and deformities of the mouth, jaws, and face. In this field, the dentist uses surgical tools and techniques to address issues such as wisdom teeth, cysts and tumors of the mouth, jaw recessions, mouth wounds and scars, jaw disorders, and more. Oral surgery can help you eliminate infections, inflammation, pain, and discomfort, improve the function of the mouth and jaws, and correct the appearance of your face.
