Book an AppointmentWhat is Osteomyelitis?
Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone. In the jaw it can cause persistent pain, swelling, and in some cases difficulty opening the mouth or chewing.
It may follow a dental infection, an extraction or an injury. Because it involves bone rather than soft tissue, it usually needs surgical treatment alongside antibiotics rather than antibiotics alone.
Osteomyelitis of the Jaw Bone: What Treatment Aims To Do
- Bring the infection under control
- Remove infected and non-viable bone
- Reduce pain and swelling
- Preserve healthy bone and oral function
Our Approach to Treatment
Surgery and antibiotic therapy work together. Bone infection rarely clears with medication alone.
Diagnostic Imaging
CT or MRI imaging maps the extent of the infection within the bone before any surgery is planned.
Surgical Debridement (Sequestrectomy)
Infected and non-viable bone is surgically removed to bring the infection under control and allow healthy bone to recover.
Antibiotic Therapy
Targeted antibiotics run alongside surgery to clear the infection and support healing.
Reconstruction
Where significant bone has been lost, reconstruction restores jaw structure and function.
Don't ignore persistent jaw pain or swelling.
