  Dr Lim has almost two decades of experience in the management of wisdom teeth and other conditions where teeth and lesions of the mouth and jaws are involved. Our wisdom teeth appear in our mouths between 15 and 23 years of age. In most patients, there is not enough space and the wisdom tooth becomes 'impacted'. In some situations, the gums around the tooth becomes painful and the tooth may become decayed as well. The removal is usually by a minor surgical procedure.

  Jaw surgery to correct long and short jaws is one of the basic tenants of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons are extremely well trained in this area. The success of such surgeries not only requires proper planning of the actual bone surgery itself but also a very good knowledge of the dental occlusion. Understanding of the orthodontists' (braces specialist’s) treatment plan is crucial, so that there can be meaningful discussions and co-planning to ensure an optimum outcome for the patient. Other disciplines, like Plastic Surgery do not have this advantage, as the training is not anchored in dentistry. The sequence of treatment includes proper consultations with both the oral & maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist before a tentative plan is proposed. The patient's concerns are carefully noted and the plans directed towards addressing this concern.
