New Website Featuring Educational Videos Empowers Patients in Dental Health Decisions

Online, April 3, 2014 (Newswire.com) - From when to have your child's wisdom teeth removed to questions about the safe use of anesthesia, more and more people are searching the Internet to get educated about healthcare choices for themselves and their children. In Orange County, California, a pair of board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons is responding to this development by launching http://www.ocoralsurgery.com, a one-stop educational resource created for people contemplating oral surgical services.

"The Internet is making all of us smarter and, in many ways, more independent," says Junil Ahn, DDS, MD of OC Oral Surgery serving all of Orange County. "People want be informed about the healthcare decisions they're facing, and they want quick access to information that's easy to understand from practicing professionals in their own area. Ocoralsurgery.com provides reliable information on conditions and treatments that people may be facing, from qualified medical experts they can trust and who are close to home."

Created by Dr. Ahn and Kenneth Girard, DDS, ocoralsurgery.com features a series of nine educational videos, and is complete with pre-operative and post-operative instructions. Patients seeking information about wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, bone grafting, oral pathology, the treatment of facial trauma, and a myriad of other oral and maxillofacial surgeries can find informative, short-format videos that explain the procedures on the website.

"Quality patient care is our top priority," says Dr. Girard. "Making sure that our patients are fully informed is a key element to that. The educational videos on ocoralsurgery.com are engaging and provide valuable information, helping patients to understand the process and feel more at ease."

"For instance, many people have concerns about their children undergoing anesthesia during wisdom teeth removal," says Dr. Ahn. "Often, parents aren't aware of the difference in education and training between a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and a general dentist. As oral surgeons with board certification, we are specially trained and equipped to safely administer anesthesia during medical and dental procedures for children and adults."

The videos launched recently at ocoralsurgery.com and are already receiving stellar reviews. "I was thrilled to find out that I could watch the video on ocoralsurgery.com and learn all about my upcoming wisdom tooth surgery," says Yolanda Castillo, a resident of Orange County. "I watched it before my procedure and it made me feel much more confident now about the process and about the outcome I could expect."

As diplomats of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Ahn and Dr. Girard have each completed an accredited hospital-based surgical residency program. Their specialty training includes internal medicine, general surgery and anesthesiology, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, emergency medicine, and other specialty areas. Dr. Ahn is both a medical doctor and a doctor of dentistry.
