Oral cancers are complex diseases, and the decision about who will perform the surgery depends largely on the individual case. Generally speaking, if the tumor is restricted to a single site in the oral cavity—such as a small area on the lips or cheeks—surgery can be performed by an MDS dentist. However, more complex cases involving larger tumors or those in difficult-to-reach areas often require a greater level of expertise. In these cases, an MBBS MS surgeon would be best suited to perform any necessary surgeries.

No matter who performs your surgery, it's important to find a highly experienced practitioner with specialized knowledge and skill in this area of medicine. Be sure to ask your doctor questions about their experience and credentials so that you can rest assured you're receiving top-quality care for your condition.
