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. bourneenddental.co.uk
