OFSC has been consistent through the years in providing oral health education to the NWA community.

This year, Oral & Facial Surgery Center offered thousands of full color educational pieces  to the health and science departments of every local junior and senior high school in NWA. The four page, newspaper-like publication was written by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and inserted as a supplement in USA Today.  The paper includes excellent articles such as What are Impacted Wisdom Teeth and Why are They a Problem, Top Ten Health Reasons to Remove Your Wisdom Teeth, What to Expect During Surgery to Remove Your Wisdom Teeth and others. This publication is available to you compliments of Oral & Facial Surgery Center. Simply email us at WisdomTeethResearch@omscenter.com or come by our office and ask for a copy. It’s just one of many ways that OFSC takes care of you.

Earning the accreditation seal from AAAHC is one of many ways that Oral & Facial Surgery Center ensures optimal patient care.  We voluntarily undergo a strict and thorough review of every aspect of our surgery centers to ensure that:

1. Our patients are treated with respect, consideration and dignity.
2. Our patients are provided complete information concerning their diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and prognosis and that they are involved in the decision-making processes involving their care.
3. Our patients are provided information regarding their rights and responsibilities, other procedures offered through OFSC, provision for after-hours and/or emergency care, clear and written estimate of fees, provision of alternative payment options, and high-standard credentialing of our health care professionals.
4. Our patients are ensured privacy of their health information and provided a means for feedback through our post-surgery patient satisfaction surveys.
5. Our patients are promised an ongoing quality management and improvement program and a risk-management program designed to protect the life and welfare of every patient and employee.
6. Our patients can be assured that every surgeon on the OFSC team is Board Certified, that our surgery centers have an on-staff registered nurse, and that our dental and surgical team of professionals are not only provided ongoing education but are also CPR and ACLS certified.
7. Both of our accredited facilities meet and exceed all local, state and federal requirements.
8. Our surgery centers always ensure adequate personnel, state-of-the-art equipment, and exceptional surgical and post-operative care.

Oral & Facial Surgery Center proudly announces the start of its 10^th year of accreditation, once again proving our long-standing commitment to outstanding patient care.  We invite you to learn more about the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care by visiting their website at www.aaahc.org

Summer is a great time for extraction of wisdom teeth, but if you haven’t scheduled your appointment yet, consider scheduling surgery on a Thursday or Friday so you have the weekend to recover. To learn more about why the extraction of wisdom teeth is recommended, check out this YouTube video:
