Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the mouth, jaw, and face. Surgeons in this field perform various procedures, including tooth extractions, jaw realignment, and reconstructive surgery after injuries or tumors. They work closely with dentists and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care for patients.
This type of surgery is essential for addressing issues such as wisdom teeth removal, facial trauma, and congenital defects like cleft lip and palate. By combining surgical skills with knowledge of dental and facial anatomy, oral and maxillofacial surgeons help improve patients' health and quality of life.
