Minor Oral Surgery
Treatments designed to address issues within the mouth and surrounding structures
Minor oral surgery is a common dental procedure that encompasses a variety of treatments designed to address issues within the mouth and surrounding structures. While the term “minor” may suggest less complexity, these procedures are essential for maintaining oral health and overall well-being. Here, we’ll delve into the key aspects of minor oral surgery.
Minor oral surgery includes extractions, such as removing impacted wisdom teeth, damaged teeth, or teeth with severe decay. These procedures are often performed under local anesthesia and are relatively quick, with minimal discomfort during and after.
Additionally, minor oral surgery encompasses the management of oral infections. Abscesses or cysts may require drainage, and this procedure can prevent the spread of infection to other parts of the body.
One common concern is the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. These third molars often don’t have enough room to emerge properly, leading to pain, inflammation, and potential misalignment of other teeth. Minor oral surgery is often necessary to extract impacted wisdom teeth, with patients typically experiencing a swift recovery.

Pre-implant surgery is another aspect of minor oral surgery. It prepares the mouth for dental implants, which can replace missing teeth. This might involve bone grafting to ensure a stable foundation for the implant.
While minor oral surgery is generally less invasive than major procedures, it’s crucial to follow post-operative care instructions to minimise complications and promote healing. Swelling, discomfort, and dietary restrictions are common in the days following surgery.
