ORAL SURGERY
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery concentrates on the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases affecting the mouth, jaws,
face and neck.
Oral surgeons must complete comprehensive general
and specialist surgical training to establish credentials for
work relating to diseases of the mouth (oral), the jaws
(maxilla) and face.
The scope of the specialty is extensive and includes the
diagnosis and management of facial injuries, head, neck
and mouth cancers, diseases of the salivary glands,
facial disproportion, facial pain, impacted teeth, cysts
and tumours of the jaws.
Oral and maxillofacial specialists also deal with
temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which
result in intense discomfort not just in a patient’s face
and jaw joint, but also their neck and shoulders, as well
as numerous problems affecting the mouth such as
ulcers and infections.
