Oral surgery
Oral surgery is the branch of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing and surgically treating problems of the mouth, teeth, and jaws. It includes:
- •Removal of complicated teeth

- •Treatment of infections and abscesses
- •Gum surgery
- •Removal of cysts or lesions in the jaw

What should you know after treatment?
After an oral surgery procedure there may be:
- •swelling
- •sensitivity
- •mild bleeding
- •temporary discomfort
- •mild chewing difficulty for a few days
These are usually temporary and managed according to the dentist's instructions.
After treatment, it is very important to follow guidance on oral hygiene, diet, medication, and rest. Proper care supports better healing and lowers complication risk.
Smoking and not following post-op instructions can negatively affect healing.
