When you have a toothache, you visit your dentist. However, when your dentist is faced with a dental concern that requires surgical intervention, they often refer their patients to an oral surgeon. What is it that makes an oral surgeon so unique? Here are the reasons why you should choose an oral surgeon when considering oral surgical procedures.
Advanced Education and Experience
Oral surgeons undergo years of intensive training beyond dental school. They receive a minimum of four years of additional education in a hospital-based residency program, where they gain extensive experience in anesthesia, pain control, and complex surgical procedures involving the mouth, face, and jaw. This specialized training sets them apart from general dentists and equips them to handle a wide range of oral health issues with precision and skill.
Oral surgeons are equipped to place dental implants, rehabilitate broken jaw bones, and alter the structures of the oral environment to eliminate congenital oral health concerns. They are the only surgical specialists aside from anesthesiologists who are trained by default in the safe administration of anesthesia. This training allows them to ensure surgeries like wisdom teeth removal, dental implant placement, and facial trauma reconstruction are all performed with your safety and comfort prioritized.
