What Is Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery? |
Posted on 9/19/2022 by Candice |
| Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that corrects issues with the jaws, mouth, neck, and facial structure. Oral health does not only involve ensuring the proper functioning of your teeth. Focusing on the surrounding structures in and around the mouth is vital. Maxillofacial surgery, commonly known as oral surgery, will help treat many diseases and defects in the soft and hard tissues in the mouth. However, when should you consider oral and maxillofacial surgery? Reasons Why You May Need Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Treat Periodontal Diseases Periodontal diseases are the most common cause of infection and inflammation of gums. In its early stage, the gum becomes swollen and may lead to bleeding. The severe stage causes the gum to pull away from the teeth, leading to teeth loosening and falling out. Gum issues are progressive diseases that require immediate medical attention. When the disorder is at an advanced stage, your oral surgeon may recommend maxillofacial surgery. TMJ Disorders The temporomandibular joint disorder can cause pain, stiffness, or decreased mobility in your TMJ. This can hinder you from using your jaw's full range of movement. For some people, maxillofacial surgery may be vital to restoring full use of the temporomandibular joint. Root Canal Damage Root canal therapy is a dentistry procedure performed when the tissues in the tooth become infected. This treatment approach helps to save the tooth and prevent future oral issues. However, the root canal sometimes fails. In this case, your dentist might recommend oral surgery options such as tooth extractions. Also, teeth restoration techniques such as dental implants may be applied. Impacted Wisdom Teeth Impacted wisdom teeth can trigger pain, irritation, or decay if left untreated. The best way to treat the impacted wisdom teeth is by seeking professional care. Your oral surgeon will monitor the tooth to determine the best treatment approach. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a good way to address the underlying issues affecting your oral health. Rather than dealing with the symptoms, this treatment technique focuses on finding the root cause of the problem.... Read more... |
