You Know It’s Time When Your Mouth Starts Talking Back
Some patients come in with visible swelling or pain that won’t go away. Others find out during a routine exam that something bigger is going on. Oral surgery isn’t always optional; sometimes it’s the fastest path to relief and long-term health.
- Persistent Tooth Pain: Chronic discomfort that doesn’t improve with fillings or root canals may signal a deeper issue that requires surgical attention.
- Jaw Stiffness or Clicking: Frequent soreness, tightness, or popping sounds when chewing could point to a jaw joint disorder or structural problem.
- Receding or Swollen Gums: Inflamed gums that pull away from your teeth might indicate advanced periodontal disease that needs surgical care.
- Loose or Missing Teeth: Gaps or shifting teeth can affect how you bite and chew, often requiring surgical solutions like implants or bone grafts.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Molars that don’t fully erupt can cause pain, crowding, or infection, often making removal the best option.
- Facial Trauma: Injuries that damage teeth or jaws may require surgical repair to restore function and appearance.
- Bite or Speech Issues: Difficulty eating or talking can result from misalignment or bone loss, which may benefit from corrective surgery.
