Oral
and maxillofacial surgery specializes in the disorders of the mouth,
teeth, jaws, and facial structures. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons
care for people with problem wisdom teeth, facial pain, and misaligned
jaws. They treat accident victims suffering facial injuries, offering
reconstructive and cosmetic solutions. They are concerned about helping
children born with poorly shaped jaws and they care for patients with
cancer. Their concern extends to their patients' total health. For more
information, click
here to download a detailed pamphlet, “What is Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery.” After
four years of postgraduate dental education, an oral and maxillofacial
surgeon completes four or more years of intensive, postdoctoral, hospital-based
surgical residency training. Oral and maxillofacial residents spend
significant time rotating through related medical fields such as internal
medicine, general surgery, anesthesiology, otolaryngology, plastic
surgery,
and emergency medicine. Depending on the residency program, some surgeons
may also opt to complete the necessary requirements to earn a medical
or other advanced degree. Some may also subsequently complete fellowships
in sub-specialty areas. For more information click
