The website is about the dental specialty of Surgical Dentistry (now known as Oral Surgery).

Surgical Dentistry / Oral Surgery is concerned with the diagnosis and surgical management of pathological processes and anomalies in the teeth or their supporting structures.

The website grew out of my desire to share with people (both fellow dentists and patients) my knowledge of the subject.

As an Oral Surgeon, I find that the more information you can give patients and dentists the better.  So, this website is pitched at both groups for the better understanding of Oral Surgery and to disperse any myths there might be around Oral Surgery.

Whereas my other websites (www.exodontia.info & www.surgical-dentistry.info) fully cover all the topics involved in Oral Surgery, this website only deals with the removal of teeth (hence, pulling-teeth.info) and some related topics.
