A lot of Oral Surgery myths start with treating one personβs experience like it applies to everyone.
The truth is, Oral Surgery can look very different from one patient to the next. Two people may come in with a similar concern but still need different treatment plans based on their anatomy, health history, symptoms, medications, bone support, healing factors, and comfort needs.
That means what worked for one patient may not be necessary, appropriate, or even feasible for another. One person may need treatment while another may be monitored. One patient may be prescribed medication that another does not need. Even Anesthesia and recovery recommendations can vary depending on the case.
So while itβs easy to compare your experience to someone elseβs, their treatment should not become the expectation for yours.
