Dentistry and maxillofacial surgery are two closely related fields that focus on oral health and facial structures.
While both involve the treatment of dental issues, they have distinct areas of specialization.

Dentistry

Dentistry is the general practice of treating dental health conditions. Dentists provide a wide range of services, including:

• Preventive care: Regular check-ups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments to prevent dental problems.
• Restorative dentistry: Filling cavities, root canals, and crowns to restore damaged teeth.
• Cosmetic dentistry: Procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and dental implants to improve the appearance of teeth.
• Pediatric dentistry: Specialized care for children's dental health.
• Periodontics: Treatment of gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis.
• Endodontics: Treatment of root canals.

Maxillofacial Surgery

Maxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the jaws, face, and neck.
Maxillofacial surgeons are trained to perform both surgical and non-surgical procedures, including:

• Orthognathic surgery: Corrective jaw surgery to improve facial aesthetics and function.
• Facial trauma surgery: Repairing facial injuries caused by accidents or trauma.
• Cleft lip and palate surgery: Treating congenital facial deformities.
• Dental implants: Placing artificial tooth roots to support crowns or bridges.
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery: Treating disorders of the jaw joint.
• Salivary gland surgery: Treating conditions affecting the salivary glands.
