Oral and Maxillofacial

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) is a surgical speciality dealing with diseases and conditions of the face, mouth, neck and jaws, as well as structures related to those areas e.g. the salivary glands etc.

Management of this region requires extensive knowledge of oral medicine and surgery, general medicine and maxillofacial pathology.

Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons are unique as they are dually qualified with both medical and dental degrees plus
post-graduate qualifications in surgery. Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons are uniquely trained to treat conditions such as head and neck cancer, facial disproportion or deformity, facial trauma, salivary gland disease, jaw joint disorders, facial skin cancers, facial aesthetics and all conditions affecting the mouth, teeth and jaws.
