When Your Mouth Needs More Than Routine Dental Care
Oral and maxillofacial surgery covers a wide range of conditions involving the teeth, jaws, mouth, and surrounding face. Dr. Anshalika, as a qualified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon (M.D.S., OMFS), manages problems that go beyond what a general dentist handles: impacted and complicated tooth extractions, diagnosis and surgical removal of jaw cysts and tumours, salivary gland disorders, jaw preparation for denture placement (pre-prosthetic surgery), removal of lipomas and soft tissue growths around the face and neck, and biopsy of suspicious lesions inside the mouth. If you have been referred by your dentist for a procedure beyond their scope, or if you have a jaw or oral condition causing ongoing symptoms, Dr. Anshalika provides specialist assessment and treatment.
Wisdom Teeth — Why They Cause So Much Trouble
Wisdom teeth (third molars) are the last teeth to emerge — typically between ages 17 and 25 — and they frequently have insufficient space in the modern human jaw. When a wisdom tooth cannot erupt in correct alignment, it becomes impacted: pressing against the second molar, lying at an angle within the bone, or erupting only partially through the gum. A partially erupted wisdom tooth creates a persistent pocket between the gum and tooth that cannot be cleaned — a site that traps food and bacteria, leading to recurrent infections (pericoronitis), bad breath, decay in the adjacent second molar, and occasionally cyst formation around the crown. Not all impacted wisdom teeth need immediate removal, but those causing pain, infection, or structural damage to neighbouring teeth should be assessed promptly.
Oral Cysts and Growths — Don't Watch and Wait Forever
Jaw cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form within the jawbone or soft tissues of the mouth — often discovered incidentally on a dental X-ray when no symptoms are present. Common types include radicular cysts (arising from the root of a dead tooth), dentigerous cysts (forming around an unerupted tooth), and odontogenic keratocysts (which have a higher rate of recurrence and require careful management). Left untreated, jaw cysts gradually expand, weakening the surrounding bone, displacing teeth, and becoming progressively more complex to treat. Any lump, white patch, red patch, or non-healing ulcer inside the mouth that has been present for more than 2 weeks warrants an expert assessment. The majority of oral lesions are benign — but the only way to know is to have them properly examined.
Salivary Gland Problems — Recognising the Symptoms
The major salivary glands — the parotid (in front of and below the ear) and the submandibular (under the jaw) — produce saliva that keeps the mouth moist, aids digestion, and protects teeth. When these glands become blocked, infected, or develop structural problems, symptoms are characteristic: swelling of the cheek or under the jaw that worsens predictably at mealtimes (as the gland attempts to release saliva when eating), pain or tenderness in the gland area, a dry mouth, or a foul taste if the blockage becomes infected. Salivary stones (sialoliths) — calcified deposits that block the gland duct — are the most common cause and can often be removed with a minor procedure. Chronic parotitis, salivary gland tumours, and Sjogren's syndrome are other conditions that require specialist evaluation and management.

Common Questions
अक्कल दाढीसाठी बहुतेक वेळा जबड्यात पुरेशी जागा नसते. ती हिरड्याखाली अडकते (इम्पॅक्टेड), इतर दातांना ढकलते किंवा वाकडी येते — ज्यामुळे वेदना, सूज आणि कधीकधी संक्रमण होतं. जसं आधीच भरलेल्या लिफ्टमध्ये आणखी एकजण शिरायला बघतोय. इम्पॅक्टेड अक्कल दाढ काढणे ही नेहमीची प्रक्रिया आहे जी वेदनेतून सुटका देते आणि पुढच्या समस्या टाळते.
तोंडात किंवा जबड्यात गाठ म्हणजे गळू (पाण्याने भरलेली पिशवी) किंवा ट्यूमर असू शकतो. बहुतेक तोंडातले गळू आणि ट्यूमर कॅन्सर नसतात — ते पाण्याच्या फुग्यांसारखे असतात जे हाडात किंवा मऊ ऊतकात तयार होतात. पण उपचार न केल्यास ते वाढू शकतात आणि दात आणि मज्जातंतूंवर दाबतात. नीट तपासणीने नक्की काय ते कळतं, आणि शस्त्रक्रियेने ते काढलं जातं.
जबड्याखाली किंवा कानांजवळ सूज ही लाळ ग्रंथींशी संबंधित असू शकते — त्या ग्रंथी ज्या तोंड ओलसर ठेवण्यासाठी लाळ तयार करतात. त्या बंद होऊ शकतात (जसं पाइपला अडथळा), संक्रमण होऊ शकतं किंवा खडे तयार होऊ शकतात. खाताना सूज वाढू शकते कारण ग्रंथी लाळ सोडायला बघते पण सोडू शकत नाही. उपचार कारणावर अवलंबून असतो.
