An oral surgeon often requires a referral from your general dentist. A referral can not only cut down on examination costs (as they are generally needed by your insurance provider) but also on time (as an initial examination can be done by your dentist).<\/p> <p>Oral surgeons are trained to administer general anesthesia and deep sedation in a hospital or dental office setting.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral and maxillofacial surgeon referral<\/h3> <p>A referral from your dentist to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is the best way to find a specialist near you and determine if you really do need oral surgery. Some oral surgeons require a referral and others do not, but most insurance policies do require referrals to cover the treatment from an oral surgeon. Make sure to check with your insurance provider and the specific clinic about their insurance policies.<\/p> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/06\/Jaw-surgery-consultation-300x200.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/06\/Jaw-surgery-consultation-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/06\/Jaw-surgery-consultation-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/06\/Jaw-surgery-consultation.jpg 1000w\" alt=\"oral surgeon near me\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oral surgeons can treat a wide variety of problems.<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p>You may be able to schedule a <a style=\"cursor: pointer;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/dental-services\/online-dentist-consultation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teledentistry<\/a> appointment, and your online dentist can also make recommendations regarding the next course of action, which may be a referral.<\/p> <p>While the specific oral surgeon may not require a referral before treatment, it is extremely important to check with your insurance provider on their requirements to cover the costs of treatment from an oral surgeon.<\/p> <p>Some oral and maxillofacial surgeons will make exceptions on their policies for referral in emergency situations, but a referral will always be the best way to go as it helps ensure care before, during, and after the surgery.<\/p> <h3 id=\"What-procedures-do-oral-surgeons-provide?\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What procedures do oral surgeons provide?<\/h3> <p>Oral surgeons can treat a wide range of ailments affecting your body from the neck up.

Usually, the abscess will manifest as a painful bump on your gums. An abscess can occur anywhere on your body, not just in the mouth.<\/p> <p>It is your body\u2019s natural defense system to prevent infection from spreading while your immune system works to destroy the bacteria. There are several different types of tooth abscesses, and not all of them result from periodontal disease.<\/p> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gingival Abscess<\/h4> <p>For some people, this sort of abscess can look like a pimple on the gums. Usually, these result from some kind of external trauma to your gum tissue, like accidentally poking yourself with a toothpick. These abscesses don\u2019t usually create too many problems with your mouth health if you keep the area clean to prevent deeper infection.<\/p> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Periapical Abscess<\/h4> <p>This kind of abscess may appear on the gum line of the tooth or surrounding tissue when it becomes inflamed. These are usually a result of decay deep inside of your tooth. Once the enamel and dentin of the tooth have eroded, the bacteria invade the nerves and tooth pulp. Wisdom teeth abscesses are a type of periapical abscess that is very common due to how difficult it is to clean the back molars. These types of abscesses are incredibly painful and require an oral surgeon to remove them.<\/p> <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Periodontal Abscess<\/h4> <p>This type of tooth abscess happens deeper in the gum pockets. The abscess spreads into the surrounding tissue and jaw bone since there is nowhere for it to drain. You will definitely want an oral surgeon to remove these types of abscesses, and quickly, as it can cause further damage to your jawbone, gums, and tooth roots.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wisdom teeth removal and impacted teeth<\/h3> <p>Some people would never know they had wisdom teeth if it weren\u2019t for dental x-rays. Not everyone will have their wisdom teeth removed, but they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wisdom-teeth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">need to be removed<\/a> if:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>They remain completely hidden inside the gums. When wisdom teeth cannot emerge normally, they become impacted (trapped) in your jawbone. Sometimes an impacted wisdom tooth can cause infection and result in cysts that damage the jaw and roots of surrounding teeth.<\/li> <li>They come out of the gums partially. If you have a wisdom tooth peeking out of your gums but doesn\u2019t emerge fully, it can create a highway for bacteria to enter your gums through your mouth since the area is so difficult to clean.<\/li> <li>They crowd other teeth. If your wisdom teeth are trying to push your other teeth out of the way, they can damage the surrounding teeth and also cause your teeth to become crooked. Not only are crooked teeth visually unappealing, they can also cause problems with bite alignment and result in other conditions that will require you to find a local oral surgeon.<\/li> <\/ul> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth removal<\/h3> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/tooth-extraction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tooth removal<\/a> may be necessary for a variety of reasons. It\u2019s actually a very common procedure because it may be caused by decay, crowding, dental implant surgery, chronic disease, and more. Popular YouTube reviewer, ReviewBrah, shares his oral surgeon review after he had two molars removed. In this video, he shares how the anesthesia affected him and how his entire procedure went:<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"> <div style=\"display: contents;\"> <div id=\"arve-youtube-rwfrg5y5r0a\" class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\"> <div class=\"arve-inner\"> <div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> <div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top: 56.250000%;\"><\/div> <p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/rWfRg5Y5r0A?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" name=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-rwfrg5y5r0a\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/rWfRg5Y5r0A?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\"><\/iframe><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/figure> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bone restructuring<\/h3> <p>Your jawbone may need restructuring if you have lost teeth and not had them replaced. Our jawbones are preserved through the pressure of chewing and biting. When there are no teeth to chew with, then the body begins to resorb the jawbone. You may also have bone loss in your jaw resulting from periodontal disease and decay. Oral surgeons can treat these conditions with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/restorative-dentistry\/jaw-bone-graft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jawbone grafts<\/a>.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gum tissue graft<\/h3> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/oral-health\/fix-receding-gums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Receding gums<\/a> are an indicator that there is something amiss in your oral health. It can be a sign of periodontal disease, teeth grinding and clenching, and injury. If you have receding gums, your dentist or dental surgeon may recommend that you have gum graft surgery to help mitigate the damage caused by one of the aforementioned conditions. There are three different types of gum graft surgery:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Connective tissue graft<\/li> <li>Free gingival graft<\/li> <li>Pedicle (lateral) grafts<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Once your gum tissue is damaged, it will not be able to grow back. Gum grafts replace damaged gum tissue with other tissues from elsewhere in your body and improve the health of your mouth as well as the appearance of receding gums. If you suspect that your gums are receding you should find a dental surgeon near you to help diagnose and treat the underlying condition.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Root canal<\/h3> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/06\/Depositphotos_40719063_m-2015-300x113.jpg\" alt=\"dental surgeon \" width=\"300\" height=\"113\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Root canal treatment cleans infection from deep inside the tooth.<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/root-canal-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Root canal treatment<\/a> removes decay deep inside the tooth by targeting the infection at the roots. Infection in the roots of your teeth can result from untreated tooth decay, crowns or fillings that have faulted in some way, a broken tooth, repetitive dental work on the same tooth, and damage from an accident. A surgical dentist near you can help remedy the pain you feel when you need a root canal almost immediately.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other oral conditions<\/h3> <p>Oral surgeons can also remove tumors on the jawbone and those caused by throat cancer, mouth cancer, and other various conditions. They can also remove malignant skin deformities in the face, head, and neck caused by skin cancer. Dental surgeons are also trained to treat mouth ulcers, cysts, and broken jaws or facial bones. In addition to all of these conditions, they are certified to <strong>perform surgery and other procedures<\/strong> to remedy hereditary conditions such as cleft palate and lip.<\/p> <h2 id=\"how-to-find-a-local-oral-surgeon\" \"how-to-find-a-local-oral-surgeon\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">How to find a local oral surgeon<\/h2> <p>Finding a dental surgeon near you can be a daunting task.

Your treatment plan will vary depending on your condition, so make sure to consult with your surgeon directly about what aftercare and recovery time will be necessary for you. Oral surgery is not just another trip to your dentist\u2014it is usually far more invasive.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before surgery<\/h3> <p>To prepare for your surgery, your doctor will need to get your full medical and dental history from you, as well as a list of all your medications. An x-ray will be taken to assess the best way to remove any teeth.<\/p> <p>You may be given specific instructions regarding your regular medications or instructed to fast before your procedure depending on what needs to be done. You might also need to take antibiotics before your surgery.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day of procedure<\/h3> <p>Just before your treatment, your oral surgeon will numb the area that will be worked on with local anesthetic. You may be given general anesthesia, a type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/restorative-dentistry\/dental-sedation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental sedation<\/a>, depending on the intensity of the procedure.<\/p> <p>If you are awake for the procedure, it is very common to feel a lot of pressure and rocking if any of your teeth need removal. You shouldn\u2019t feel any pain at all, just pressure. If you feel any pain, make sure to notify your surgeon immediately so that they can administer more numbing agents.<\/p> <p>If any extraction is needed, then your surgeon may need to make an incision in your gums, which will require stitches after the procedure is completed.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aftercare<\/h3> <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/woman-with-mouth-pain-at-dentist.jpg\" alt=\"maxillofacial surgeon near me\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Make sure to take all medications as prescribed to avoid infection.<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div> <p>After your treatment, you may be asked to bite down on a piece of gauze.
