This site has been compiled to give additional
information about matters involving Surgical
Dentistry and Oral (& Maxillofacial) Surgery.
These days, with so much information on the
Web, it behoves patients to research any dental
(or medical) matter before embarking on the
treatment (the Prudent Patient). The more
information the patient is armed with, the better,
as this allows a more, in-depth discussion with
your dentist / Oral Surgeon regarding your
treatment options.
No responsibility can be accepted for any
injury suffered as a direct or indirect result
of the information contained in this site.
The author was responsible for most of the text
that is contained in the site.
Although there is a great deal of agreement
between dentists and doctors on the specifics
of Oral (and Maxillofacial) Surgery, there are
still areas open to interpretation and bias.
The views expressed in this site may not be the
same as those expressed by your Oral Surgeon.
These details are, for the most part, common
knowledge amongst Oral Surgeons and hence
the need for a site to pass this knowledge to
our patients.
I have included on the site, websites and
articles of relevance to the various topics
discussed.
The articles are from well-recognised journals
that are subject to peer-review.
The websites are often the websites of
professional bodies such as dental
associations, dental councils etc.
I have tried to present information that is
commonly accepted but it is vital to remember
that this site is not a substitute for a
consultation with your dentist / doctor.
