Lacerations and Cuts
Any kind of cut to your face and the delicate soft tissues inside your
mouth should be addressed immediately in order to prevent further
tissue damage and infection.
If a traumatic injury involves a broken facial bone such as
the jaw, nose, chin or cheek, maxillofacial surgery may be required.
With jaw surgery, rubber bands, tiny wires, metal braces, screws or
plates are often used to keep a fractured jaw in place following
surgery. This allows the bone to heal and stay in proper alignment.
Dental splints or dentures may also be required to supplement the
healing process following jaw surgery.
