Maxillofacial Trauma & Jaw Fracture Management
Facial injuries can be emotionally and physically challenging. Maxillofacial trauma requires specialized expertise to ensure that facial aesthetics, jaw alignment, and dental function are fully restored.
At One Smile Dental Care, our surgical team is highly trained in managing complex facial injuries, including jaw fractures, soft tissue lacerations, and severe dental trauma, in a safe, sterile environment.
Our Trauma Care Treatments Cover:
- Facial Bone Fractures: Aligning and stabilizing fractures of the jaw (mandible), upper jaw (maxilla), cheekbones, and eye sockets.
- Replanting Knocked-out (Avulsed) Teeth: Emergency splinting of teeth that have been knocked loose or entirely out of their sockets.
- Soft Tissue Lacerations: Suturing facial cuts and gum tears with meticulous attention to detail to minimize scarring.
- Emergency Dental Consultations: Immediate diagnostics (X-rays, examinations) following falls, sports injuries, or accidents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Maxillofacial trauma refers to any physical injury to the face, jaw, oral cavity, or surrounding structures. This includes facial cuts, knocked-out teeth, and fractured jawbones.
Keep the tooth moist. Avoid touching the root; hold it by the crown. Gently place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk or saliva, and visit our clinic immediately. If treated within 60 minutes, the tooth has a high chance of being saved.
Jaw fractures are treated by aligning the broken bones back into their correct positions and securing them (often using wire splints or small plates) to allow them to heal, restoring your normal bite.
