When is Oral Surgery Necessary?
Oral surgery is recommended when non-surgical treatments are not enough to address certain dental issues. Some common reasons for oral surgery include:
- Impacted Teeth: When wisdom teeth or other teeth do not emerge properly, removal may be necessary.
- Severe Tooth Damage: If a tooth cannot be saved with a filling or crown, extraction may be the best option.
- Jawbone Loss: Bone grafting helps strengthen the jaw for future dental restorations.
- Oral Infections: Surgery can remove infections that could spread to other areas of the mouth or body.
