A jaw fracture requires prompt medical and dental assessment, but treatment usually requires a dentist specializing in oral and maxillofacial surgery, not a routine dental appointment. A fracture may affect the jawbone, bite, teeth, nerves, and surrounding facial structures.
Depending on the fracture's location and severity, treatment can range from observation and dietary modification to surgical repair and fixation. Oral and maxillofacial surgery services include facial-fracture repair and jaw reconstruction. If a jaw injury is accompanied by significant swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing, severe pain, inability to close the mouth properly, or a change in the way the teeth meet, seek urgent medical care.
Facial trauma can sometimes compromise the airway and requires emergency attention. Our dentist is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who can assess associated dental injuries and coordinate care. Visit us if you suspect a jaw fracture.
