Oral surgery is a dental specialty that involves the surgical treatment of diseases in the mouth, teeth, gums, and jaws. Oral surgery is often involves dental implants, tooth extraction, corrective jaw surgery, and bone grafts. The most common treatment provided by oral surgeons is tooth extraction, especially wisdom tooth removal. Many young adults have their wisdom teeth extracted, because they often cause trouble in the mouth. A skilled oral surgeon can certainly solve this problem, and do it painlessly. Most wisdom tooth extractions can be finished in fifteen minutes without putting the patient to sleep.
