Dental & Oral Surgery

Recognizing the Symptoms

• Persistent Tooth Pain or Sensitivity: Constant pain or increased sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures could indicate underlying issues such as tooth decay, fractures, or abscesses. If left untreated, these conditions can worsen, leading to more severe complications.
• Swelling or Inflammation of the Gums: Gum swelling, redness, or bleeding during brushing and flossing are signs of gum disease, which may require surgical intervention to prevent tooth loss and other oral health problems.
• Difficulty Chewing or Swallowing: Experiencing pain or discomfort while chewing or swallowing can be a sign of various dental issues, including infections, misaligned teeth, or jaw disorders. Dental surgery may be necessary to correct these problems and restore normal function.
• Misaligned Teeth or Jaw: Crooked teeth or jaw misalignment can cause discomfort, difficulty in chewing, and aesthetic concerns. Orthognathic surgery or orthodontic procedures may be required to correct these issues and improve overall oral health.
• Oral Infections or Abscesses: Infections in the mouth can lead to abscesses, characterized by painful, pus-filled swellings. Immediate treatment, often involving surgical drainage, is essential to prevent the spread of infection and other complications.
• Trauma or Injury to the Teeth or Jaw: Accidents or injuries that result in broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth, as well as jaw fractures, often require prompt surgical intervention to repair and restore the affected areas.

Causes and Risk Factors

• Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglecting regular brushing and flossing can lead to the accumulation of plaque and tartar, which in turn causes tooth decay and gum disease. These conditions, if left untreated, often require surgical intervention.
• Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals are more prone to dental issues due to their genetic makeup. Conditions such as malocclusion (misaligned teeth) and certain types of gum disease can be inherited, necessitating surgical correction.
• Trauma and Injuries: Accidents or physical trauma to the face and mouth can result in broken or dislodged teeth, jaw fractures, and other serious injuries. Surgical procedures are often required to repair and reconstruct damaged oral structures.
• Chronic Illnesses: Diseases such as diabetes can negatively impact oral health, increasing the risk of infections, gum disease, and other dental problems. Managing these conditions often involves surgical treatment to address complications.
• Lifestyle Habits: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a poor diet can contribute to various dental issues. Tobacco use, in particular, is a significant risk factor for oral cancers, which may necessitate surgical removal and reconstruction.
