Although many modern treatments have eliminated the need for oral surgery, sometimes the best treatment plan will involve some type of surgery. A good ortho surgeon can correct abnormalities of the facial bones and can correct problems with chewing and talking, and improve the patient’s appearance and self-esteem. rnrnBefore having any oral surgery, it is critically important to sit down with your oral surgeon and ask them important questions. Here is a short list of things that you need to ask your surgeon before you have any oral surgery.rnrn[b]Why do I need this surgery?[/b]rnMake sure that your surgeon explains, in detail, exactly why this surgery is necessary and why there isn’t another possible treatment. The better you understand the necessity, the more relaxed and prepared you can be.rnrn[b]Will I be sedated and, if so, what dietary rules do I have to follow?[/b]rnSome surgeries are done with the patient awake. Others require the patient to be asleep and there are very specific, important restrictions that the patient has to follow before the procedure. rnrn[b]What will happen immediately after the surgery?[/b]rnIn some cases, you’ll be finished the surgery and head home. You will require someone to drive you home after any kind of surgery. In other cases, you may be spending the night in the hospital and you’ll need to know what to bring.rnrn[b]What will the recovery be like?[/b]rnWhat steps will you need to take to have a safe and effective recovery?
