About Oral Cavity

Oral cavity surgery, performed by a dental surgeon, encompasses a range of surgical procedures aimed at diagnosing, treating, and reconstructing conditions affecting the mouth's interior structures. This includes the gums, teeth, jawbones, tongue, palate, and inner cheeks. Common procedures range from complex tooth extractions (like impacted wisdom teeth) and dental implant placement to the removal of cysts, tumors, or benign growths, and corrective surgeries for jaw alignment or sleep apnea. The goal is to restore optimal oral function, alleviate pain, treat disease, and improve both oral health and aesthetics. These surgeries are typically performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity, ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the process.

PATIENT REVIEW

Arjun Verma, a 58-year-old restaurant owner,...

Arjun Verma, a 58-year-old restaurant owner, had been a lifelong tobacco chewer. For months, he ignored a persistent white patch on the inside of his cheek, attributing it to spicy food. When it became painful and started to bleed, his wife insisted he see a dentist. A biopsy confirmed it was a pre-cancerous lesion called leukoplakia. His oral surgeon, Dr. Mehta, recommended its complete surgical removal to prevent it from turning cancerous. Terrified of the word 'cancer,' Arjun agreed. The procedure, done under local anesthesia, was quick but left him with a sore, stitched cheek. Recovery involved a soft diet and meticulous oral hygiene. The biopsy of the removed tissue came back clear, with no signs of cancer. Emotionally, Arjun went from fear and denial to profound relief and a new commitment to quit tobacco, viewing the surgery as a life-saving wake-up call that brought him closer to his family.
