Comprehensive Treatment for All Jaw Injuries

Jaw Injuries encompass a variety of conditions affecting the bones, muscles, and joints of the jaw. These injuries often require immediate attention to restore function and prevent long-term complications. Jaw injuries can result from accidents, trauma, sports injuries, falls, or conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Depending on the severity, these injuries can significantly impact chewing, speaking, and overall oral health.

Common Types of Jaw Injuries:

• Fractures: Broken jawbones can occur in the upper jaw (maxilla), lower jaw (mandible), or both. These fractures can range from minor hairline cracks to severe breaks that may require surgical intervention.

• Dislocations: A dislocation occurs when the lower jaw becomes unhinged from the temporomandibular joint. This condition can lead to intense pain, swelling, and difficulty closing the mouth. Immediate realignment is often necessary to restore proper function.

• Soft Tissue Damage: Injuries may also involve cuts, bruising, and swelling of the muscles and ligaments supporting the jaw.

In some cases, trauma to the jaw can lead to TMJ disorders, resulting in chronic pain and clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth.
