[Tagging] Spelling of healthcare:speciality=maxillofacial_surgery

[Mateusz Konieczny]

I am unfamiliar with this topic, but noone responded so...

Maybe dental_oral_maxillo_facial_surgery is one in the wring form?

Note that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_and_maxillofacial_surgery
is using merged form.

Maybe dental_oral_maxillo_facial_surgery should be changed to
dental_oral_maxillofacial_surgery?
