Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery

When a dentist mentions “oral surgery,” many patients begin to panic. The patient may be thinking that there is something seriously wrong with them that they are going to be undergoing a dangerous, painful, and expensive procedure.

The truth is, however, that many oral surgery procedures are commonplace and address conditions that many people experience, such as impacted wisdom teeth, sleep apnea or tooth loss. While every case is different, many of these procedures are completed on an outpatient basis, and patients can resume work or normal activities within a few days.

What is Oral Surgery?

The specialty of Oral Surgery deals with the diagnosis and management of pathology of the mouth and jaws that requires surgical intervention. Oral Surgery involves the treatment of children, adolescents and adults, and the management of dentally anxious and medically complex patients.

The forming of the gums

This procedure can improve “gingival” smile in which the teeth look smaller. The small amount of gingival tissue is removed or is replaced with the addition of the so-called bone tissue if necessary and contoured in order to see the bigger part of the tooth.

Gums Recession

Gum recession is a loss of gum tissue along the gum line. Gum recession can occur because of periodontal diseases like gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. It can also occur from brushing your teeth too hard, brushing using a toothbrush with hard bristles, or just because of your body’s natural aging process.

The roots of the teeth that are exposed during the recession of the gums can be sensitive both on cold and hot. The recession of the gums sometimes can cause more health problems even losing of the teeth.
