What surgeries is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon legally allowed to perform?im talking about someone who doesnt have an md first.also is he the perfect doctor to see for oral cancer or oral biopsies?

Yes: An oral and maxillofacial surgeon will be the right specialty to perform an oral biopsy. If that proves to be cancer it will be a team of doctors weighing in, including oncologist, radiation oncologist and oral surgeon.
