Oral Medicine is a specialized field of dentistry that diagnoses and manages various diseases of the mouth, face, and jaws through medical (non-surgical) approaches. It encompasses conditions that require internal-medicine?based management, such as temporomandibular disorders, orofacial pain, oral mucosal diseases, xerostomia, halitosis, taste disorders, oral motor dysfunction, bruxism, and snoring. Because many of these conditions are closely associated with systemic factors, Oral Medicine plays a key role in linking oral health with overall systemic health. The specialty also includes the evaluation and management of patients with systemic diseases for safe dental treatment, smoking-cessation care, and areas such as dental forensics. Oral Medicine ultimately aims to improve both oral and systemic health through evidence-based diagnosis and comprehensive medical management.
