What is Facial Trauma? Facial trauma refers to injuries to the face, including fractures, lacerations, and dental injuries, often resulting from accidents, falls, sports, or violence.

  • Facial Lacerations: Cuts and tears in the skin or oral tissues.
  • Intraoral Lacerations: Injuries to the inside of the mouth.
  • Fractured Bones: Breaks in facial bones such as the cheekbones, nose, or eye sockets.
  • Jaw Fractures: Broken upper and lower jaws.
  • Avulsed (Knocked-Out) Teeth: Displaced teeth requiring replantation or stabilization

Causes of Facial Trauma Facial injuries can occur due to:

• Motor vehicle accidents
• Sports-related injuries
• Falls or accidents
• Workplace injuries
• Physical assaults

Treatment for Soft Tissue Injuries Soft tissue injuries, such as facial lacerations, are repaired using advanced suturing techniques to minimize scarring. We also assess and treat damage to surrounding structures like facial nerves and salivary glands.

Treatment for Bone Injuries Facial fractures are treated based on their location and severity. We use techniques such as rigid fixation, where small plates and screws stabilize the fractures, allowing for faster recovery and minimal scarring. In some cases, jaw wiring may be necessary for specific fractures.

Dental Injury Treatment For dental injuries, including knocked-out teeth, our oral surgeons replant and stabilize teeth to enhance their chances of survival. If a tooth cannot be saved, dental implants can restore your smile and function.
