[header] How to choose an oral surgeon [title] Talk to your dentist. [step] Your dentist is the best person to recommend an oral surgeon for you since they know exactly what sort of oral trouble you're having. Once your dentist recommends one or more oral surgeons based on your specific needs, you can go forward with the process of evaluating each surgeon. 
[substeps] If your dentist doesn't have anyone in mind, perform an online search for an oral surgeon in the area with good reviews. Alternately, talk to your friends and family members who have had oral surgery and find out if they were satisfied with their surgeons.
