What Is Facial Trauma?
Facial trauma refers to any injury to the face involving:
- Bone fractures (jaw, cheekbone, nose, eye sockets)
- Soft tissue injuries (cuts, punctures, bruises)
- Dental injuries (knocked-out or broken teeth)
- Jaw dislocations or midface injuries
These injuries can result from car accidents, sports impacts, work-related incidents, falls, or physical altercations.
When to See a Facial Trauma Surgeon
If you or a loved one has experienced a facial injury, seek immediate evaluation if you notice:
- Facial swelling or deformity
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Jaw pain or misalignment
- Loose or missing teeth
- Lacerations or bleeding that won’t stop
- Numbness in the face or lips
- Blurred vision or eye movement issues
For urgent trauma cases, we coordinate with local hospitals and ERs for fast, specialized surgical care.
