Oral and maxillofacial surgery is surgery to correct a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. It is one of 9 surgical specialities recognised by the Royal Colleges of Surgeons. Maxillofacial Surgeons are unique in that they are 'doubly qualified' in the practice of both Medicine and Dentistry.
