Oral Surgery Q & A
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed in or around your mouth or jaw. These measures combine special tools and anesthesia to ensure quick, pain-free operations and long-lasting treatment outcomes.
Before recommending oral surgery, your True Dental Group provider conducts an oral exam and reviews your dental health history.
During your initial visit, let your provider know about any medications or supplements you take. In addition, let them know if you’re living with any underlying health problems like high blood pressure or heart disease.
These issues won’t keep you from oral surgery, but they may increase the risk of potential complications.

If your wisdom teeth are unable to break through the gumline, your risk of infection and other issues increases.Wisdom teeth removal provides a safe and effective way to prevent these and other problems before they occur.
