About Florida Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Florida Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a dental practice on West Azeele Street in the South Tampa area of Tampa, Florida. Wisdom teeth are removed when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front, since they arrive last and often into a jaw with no room left. Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out — one that erupts cleanly and can be kept clean is often left alone.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Do wisdom teeth always need to be removed?
No. Wisdom teeth that come through cleanly, in a good position, and can be kept clean are often left alone. Removal is generally advised when they are impacted, repeatedly infected, decayed, or damaging the tooth in front.
How long is recovery after wisdom tooth removal?
Most of the swelling and discomfort settles within about a week, with the first two or three days the most noticeable. Surgical removal of an impacted tooth generally takes longer to recover from than a simple extraction.
Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

I want to start off by saying how amazing this staff is. Not just one staff member the entire staff!! They made sure I was prepared before, during, and after the appointment. Everything was thoroughly explained before the appointment and everything was thoroughly explained about home care. There was literally no wait time at either of the appointments, I was seen at my scheduled appointment time. They made sure I was comfortable the whole time and respected my wishes and concerns. I cannot say enough about this office. Best word to describe it...AMAZING!! Thank you so much!!

Dr. Fowler was great as was all the staff. Very friendly. Made me feel very comfortable. One thing always important to me. Is how time efficient they were. Really a plus in my book. I thank them all for making a potentially unpleasant time quite the opposite. All went great.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Florida Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery for my wisdom teeth removal. From the moment I walked in, the entire team made sure I was okay and calm — especially important because I was really scared about the procedure. Dr. Ms. Fowler and Assistant Ms. Melissa were fantastic. They took the time to make sure I was comfortable the whole way through, explained everything clearly, and constantly reassured me that they had my back. The rest of the staff and assistants were equally caring and attentive — they truly went above and beyond to ease my nerves. Not only did they successfully remove my wisdom teeth and fix the pain I was having, but they also made me feel so much better about the entire process. My mouth feels so much better now, and I left the office feeling genuinely cared for. Thank you so much to Dr. Fowler, Ms. Melissa, and the entire amazing team! I highly recommend this office to anyone needing oral surgery. You all made a stressful situation into a positive and comfortable experience.
