What sets oral and maxillofacial surgeons apart? Not everyone who performs oral surgery is an oral surgeon, and the difference between having oral surgery performed and seeing an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is significant. While oral surgery is a category of procedures, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon is a person who is an expert in face, mouth and jaw surgery. Although a medical doctor or general dentist may be able to perform some oral surgeries, oral surgeons are the surgical specialists of the dental profession.

Bone loss is common for people who have lost teeth or had periodontal disease previously. Our team at Torrey Pines OMS is trained and experienced in grafting, or adding bone, to safely secure dental implants. Bone grafting can enhance the strength and structure of the jawbone, promoting new bone growth and ensuring the long-term success and stability of your dental implant.

Just a friendly reminder to stop and take a deep breath. 💙 Stress not only takes a toll on your mental health, but it can also affect your smile! Clenching or grinding teeth, known as bruxism, can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, and even fractures. Take time to relax and protect your oral health.

Wisdom teeth are easier to remove when the patient is younger, since their roots are not completely formed, the surrounding bone is softer, and there is less chance of damaging nearby nerves or other structures. Removal of wisdom teeth at a later age becomes more complicated as the roots have fully developed (and may involve the nerve), and the jawbone is denser. Explore these six benefits of removing your wisdom teeth early!

At Torrey Pines OMS, patient safety and comfort are our biggest priorities. When you come in for a consultation or scheduled oral surgery procedure, please do not hesitate to ask questions about anything that is not clear to you. Our team wants you to understand and be comfortable with the treatment you receive. Call us with any questions: 858-793-3393 or visit our website: https://rwl.io/3CFhT0g.

Why is bone grafting important? Aside from creating a stable foundation for the placement of dental implants, bone grafting also enables you to improve your capacity for more effective chewing and can improve appearance when the missing teeth being replaced are visible in your smile. Bone grafting can also help improve speech when the missing teeth affect your ability to speak normally. Find out more about bone grafting for dental implant surgery: https://rwl.io/3CFhT0g.

Wisdom teeth may not need to be removed if they are:
🔹 Healthy.
🔹 Grown in fully.
🔹 In the right place and biting properly.
🔹 Able to be cleaned daily.

But wisdom teeth often don't have room to grow in properly, and this can cause problems, such as the ones listed here. At Torrey Pines OMS, our team will be able to recommend if you should have your wisdom teeth removed or not. Schedule your consultation today:

The skin inside your mouth (mucosa) has a special texture and color that is different from the rest of your body: it should be smooth and coral pink. 👄

If you notice any changes in this color, bumps, sores, patches, or swelling, you may benefit from an oral pathology exam. Oral pathology is the branch of dentistry that deals with diagnosing and treating these conditions!

Do. Or do not. There is no try.

Should you postpone your wisdom teeth removal? Having your wisdom teeth removed as a teen has several advantages:

- Easier Recovery: Younger individuals often experience a smoother and quicker recovery from wisdom teeth extraction compared to adults. The jawbone is less dense, and the roots of the teeth may not be fully formed, making the extraction process less complicated.
- Prevention of Complications: Removing wisdom teeth early can help prevent potential complications such as impaction, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth. It reduces the risk of infection or cyst formation around the impacted wisdom teeth.
- Orthodontic Considerations: Wisdom teeth can exert pressure on surrounding teeth, leading to misalignment. Removing them can help preserve the results of orthodontic treatments and maintain proper teeth alignment.
- Reduced Discomfort: Wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort, especially if they are impacted or growing in at an awkward angle. Early removal can alleviate these symptoms and prevent further dental issues.

In short, having your wisdom teeth removed as soon as they emerge is the way to go! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have.
