💡 Let's shed some light

🚫 Myth: Wisdom teeth must always be removed.
✅ Fact: Wisdom teeth don’t always cause trouble when they do show up. In fact, there may not even be a need for extraction if they are healthy and properly aligned.

🔍 However, most will eventually need to be removed due to impaction, risk to neighboring healthy teeth, or hygienic difficulties, which can lead to cavities or infection.

Ready to have your Wisdom teeth extracted, call us today ☎️ 773-296-7645

Dealing with a Broken Nose? Here’s What You Should Know 👃

Nasal injuries can lead to a range of complications, and it’s essential to be aware of them:

🔹 Deviated Septum: A broken nose can result in a deviated septum, blocking your nasal passage. Medications can provide temporary relief, but surgery might be needed for a long-term solution.

🔹 Septal Hematoma: Blood can collect in the nasal area, causing a septal hematoma requiring surgical drainage to prevent cartilage damage.

🔹 Bone and Cartilage Fractures: Severe impacts may cause bone and cartilage fractures, often needing surgical intervention for proper healing.

🔹 Neck Injuries: A significant blow to the nose can also impact the neck, making immediate medical attention essential.

At OMHNA, we specialize in treating facial trauma. Contact us today to get the expert care you need ☎️ 773-296-7645.

TMJ arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a pinhead-sized camera to diagnose and treat a variety of TMJ disorders. Some of the most common conditions it addresses include:

🔹 Internal Derangements: Correcting displaced discs or misalignment in the joint.
🔹 Inflammation: Reducing pain and swelling caused by conditions like synovitis.
🔹 Scar Tissue Removal: Clearing adhesions that can restrict movement.
🔹 Joint Locking: Treating "jaw locking" where the joint is severely restricted.

TMJ arthroscopy provides relief with quicker recovery and less pain than traditional surgery.

🧠 Myth vs. Fact: Salivary Glands in the Oral Region

🛑Myth: All salivary glands are the same size and produce the same amount of saliva.

✅Fact: There are three major pairs of salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) and numerous minor ones, varying in size and saliva production. These glands work together to keep your mouth moist, aid digestion, and protect your teeth.
