Dental care involves taking good care of your teeth, gums and the related structures of the mouth. Dental care includes prevention and treatment of diseases of the gum and teeth,
and also the replacement or repair of defective teeth. In many cases people may suffer from dental diseases due to sheer laziness and lack of knowledge towards proper dental care.
Maxillofacial surgery is a specialization of dentistry which focuses on problems around the mouth, jaw, and neck.
For people with birth defects and deformities, a referral for maxillofacial surgery can be life changing. Some surgeons specialize on the treatment of cleft lips and palates and
other disfiguring deformities, sometimes even volunteering their skills in low income communities. Because the face is such a visible and important part of a person, many people
with deformities feel awkward in society. Maxillofacial surgery can change this, giving the patient more confidence in his or her daily life.
