What is minor oral surgery?

 

Dentists can do a large number of surgical interventions in the mouth.  The term “Minor oral surgery” refers to smaller operations and include removing wisdom teeth, impacted teeth, and severely broken-down teeth, as well as apicectomies, biopsies and other procedures.

 

Within our service our oral surgery is largely carried out by “dentists with a special interest in oral surgery” (DwSI).

 

The service provides a range of oral surgical procedures for patients referred by their general dental practitioner.

 

Patients are usually referred for the removal of teeth which the referring practitioner is unhappy to remove themselves.
