When to seek advice
Reasons for a specialist consultation
- Pain, swelling or symptoms that persist or recur
- Difficulty chewing, opening the mouth or normal jaw function
- A lesion, anomaly or fracture identified clinically or on imaging
- A need for a specialist opinion or a coordinated treatment plan
Consultation
An individual assessment
Dr Tarik Mahloute reviews your symptoms, medical history and previous examinations. Additional imaging is requested only when it can help clarify the diagnosis or treatment plan.
The options, expected benefits, alternatives and individual risks are explained before any decision. An initial consultation does not mean that surgery is necessary.
