Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (specialty)

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on surgical procedures involving the mouth, jaw, and face. Surgeons in this field handle a range of issues, including wisdom teeth removal, facial injuries, jaw deformities, and dental implants. They work to treat both functional problems, like difficulties in chewing or speaking, and aesthetic concerns, such as facial symmetry. These surgeons undergo extensive training, combining dentistry and medicine, to provide comprehensive care for conditions affecting the oral and facial regions. Their work is essential for maintaining both health and appearance.
