What is oral & maxillofacial surgery?
Oral & maxillofacial surgeons are specialists registered with the Dental Board of Australia and the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons once they have successfully completed their final specialty examinations (FRACDS). Oral & maxillofacial surgeons undergo continuous study for 15 to 17 years and hold degrees in Dentistry and Medicine, as well as a further four-year qualification/training in oral & maxillofacial surgery. Depending on their interest or specialty, they may hold a Masters degree, such as in Paediatric Maxillofacial Surgery or Surgical Anatomy.
Oral & maxillofacial surgery is a specialty that combines dental, medical, and surgical knowledge and skills. It involves the diagnosis, surgery and treatment of oral diseases, injuries and defects involving the mouth, gums, teeth and jaws, including how these function and how they look.
