  • Cysts in the jaw or injuries to the teeth and jaw

Tell us first if

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

What does an oral and maxillofacial surgeon do?

They are dental surgeons with specialist training in surgery of the mouth, jaws and face, from difficult extractions to jaw injuries.

Will I be awake?

Most oral surgery is done under local anaesthesia, so you are awake but the area is numb. Larger procedures may be planned in a hospital.

Why would I need a biopsy?

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to find out what a lump, patch or ulcer is. Most are not serious, but testing gives a clear answer.

How long is recovery?

Most people feel better within a few days. Swelling usually peaks around day two or three and then eases.
