An oral and maxillofacial surgeon specializes in the surgical treatment of conditions and injuries affecting the mouth, teeth, jaw, face, and neck.
They combine training in dentistry and surgery to treat everything from complex tooth extractions to facial reconstruction.
The specialist reviews your dental and medical history and examines your mouth, jaw, and face.
