Patients might need oral surgery for a variety of reasons. It could be a tooth that is decaying or diseased might need to be removed. It might be bridges that need to be installed while a patient is safe from pain or discomfort while under anesthesia. It can also be for any disease, decay, or injury in the jaw, as well.
Sometimes, oral surgery is needed for emergency purposes in the event of a trauma or injury to the mouth, teeth, gums, or jaw.
