Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are surgical specialists with expertise in treating conditions of the mouth, teeth, jaws and associated structures. Many surgeons in this specialty have dual qualifications, medicine and dentistry. They often complete post-fellowship training to focus on sub-specialties such as head and neck cancer; cosmetic facial surgery; craniofacial surgery; cranio-maxillofacial trauma; and pediatric maxillofacial surgery.
Specialists work in oral and maxillofacial surgery units in larger public hospitals and in private practice.
In 2017 there were 137 registered oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Australia (Medical Board of Australia, Registrant data, 23 January 2018).
