Faqs on Oral Surgery
Oral surgery involves surgical procedures on the mouth, teeth, gums, jaw, or facial structures, typically performed by an oral or maxillofacial surgeon. 
Oral surgery is necessary for conditions like: 
  1. Severely damaged or decayed teeth 
  2. Wisdom teeth that cause pain or infection 
  3. Jaw alignment issues 
  4. Birth defects (e.g., cleft lip/palate) 
  5. Tumors or cysts 
  6. Severe oral infections or abscesses 
  7. Facial injuries (e.g., jaw fractures) 
  1.  
In general, you can make an appointment with an oral surgeon directly, but it’s a good idea to check with your insurance and/or dentist to ensure a referral is necessary for your specific situation. 
  1. Local Anesthesia: Numbs the surgical area, while you’re awake. 
  2. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Mild sedation to relax you, while you stay awake. 
  3. Oral Sedation: A pill to help you relax and feel drowsy. 
  4. IV Sedation: Deeper relaxation through an IV, often used for longer or more complex procedures. 
  5. General Anesthesia: Puts you completely to sleep for major surgeries. 
While oral surgery can cause some discomfort after the procedure, pain is typically manageable with medication. Recovery varies by procedure, but with proper care, most patients heal within a few days to a couple of weeks. 
Oral surgery, while generally safe, carries risks like infection, bleeding, nerve damage, dry socket, swelling, anesthesia complications, and delayed healing. The incidence of serious complications is low, typically less than 5% for most procedures
