Who is an oral surgeon?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An oral surgeon is a dentist who specialises in procedures that affect the face and mouth, such as the extraction of teeth, surgical removal of cysts and tumours, jaw realignment,<\/a> and facial reconstructive surgery.

They can diagnose and treat diseases in the mouth, such as gingivitis, infections, and oral and gum cancers<\/a>. Like general dentists, oral surgeons can work in private practices, group practices, dental schools, or hospitals. They also earn a higher salary than general dentists<\/a> ($139,000 per year versus $104,000 per year). However, owing to variety factors, the number of jobs for oral surgeons is expected to decline over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, general dentists are handling a more number of extractions, and dental hygienists and assistants are handling a greater number of cleanings. But trauma, alignments or even cancers are managed by oral surgeons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
