Maxillofacial Surgery

Maxillofacial Surgery

Maxillofacial surgery is a surgical specialism concerning the treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face and neck.

The best-known maxillofacial surgical procedure is the removal of wisdom teeth.

WISDOM TEETH

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to erupt, often not appearing until you are 17 or older. Whilst some wisdom teeth cause no problems, they are prone to become impacted or not to erupt properly.

Some people’s mouths are not big enough to comfortably contain 32 teeth. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth are difficult to clean, meaning plaque and bacteria can build up, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.

Because these teeth develop internally, they can sometimes form painful cysts that can damage surrounding teeth and the jawbone beneath.

Buried and impacted wisdom teeth may require surgery to remove them. At Smile 360 we offer a fully-equipped theatre for maxillofacial surgery, approved by the Nigerian Dental Association.
