Well, Dr Google describes maxillo-facial as relating to the mouth, jaw, face and neck.
Maxillo- facial surgery I believe is the normal department for you to be referred to. I don't think you will be alone believing it's only dental work they do.I am also waiting on an appointment with maxill.
Hi Yvonneh , thanks for the update . I’m so pleased you will be seen very soon , I’m sure the worst part of dealing with any physical problem is the waiting and not knowing . As others have said the department you’re going to is the right one and hopefully you’ll feel much better when you’ve spoken to them 😊 Please continue with updates xx
Teddid Thankyou I thought I was having a moment 😂 I hope all goes well for you xx
I had an appointment at the Maxillofacial department for a check on sinuses and nerves as I had peculiar numbness sensations in my cheek and left nostril. I had a MRI scan. This department deals with anything head / neck related x
I had complex jaw surgery and was under the maxillofacial clinic. It's for head and neck issues. Good luck.
Thankyou x
Max fax is more than teeth and where you need to go. They have extensive knowledge in your area. As others have said jaw, face, neck, nodes etc. I am off there myself after a very tough two months and need further help. Good luck. xx
