What is Oral Medicine?

Oral Medicine and Oral Pathology is the specialty field of dentistry that deals with the assessment, diagnosis, and management of conditions affecting the oral mucosa, jaws and adjacent anatomical structures, as well as patients with oro-facial pain. Oral Medicine sits at the interface between Dentistry and Medicine.

The key difference between Oral Medicine and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is that in Oral Medicine the emphasis is on dental conditions that are primarily managed without the need for intrusive surgery, similar to Internal Medicine which treats medical conditions that are primarily managed without the need for intrusive medical surgery.

The field of Oral Medicine also includes dental treatment for patients with serious and chronic diseases.
