Most dentists carry out routine minor surgery of the mouth and jaw, eg. tooth extraction, removal of buried tooth roots, gum surgery etc.
However, more extensive diagnosis and surgery for problem wisdom teeth, misaligned jaws, facial injuries, head and neck cancer other tumours and cysts of the jaws is carried out by highly trained specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
