What Is Facial Trauma?
A traumatic injury to the teeth, soft tissues of the mouth (gums, tongue, and lips), or jaw may be caused by a direct strike to the mouth area. Oral injuries can happen while playing sports, during an auto accident, or in everyday mishaps. Trauma may cause many issues to happen, including cracked teeth, dislodged teeth, lacerations to the gums, or even a broken jaw. Oral injury treatments will vary depending on your specific case. Even if your injury doesn't seem serious or feel painful, patients should seek out immediate professional care from Dr. Kenneth Haynes or Dr. Mance Cutbirth at Corpus Christi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in order to tend to the trauma and protect against additional harm, like an infection. At our Corpus Christi, TX office, Drs. Haynes and Cutbirth perform many procedures to fix oral and dental problems that occur as a result of injury. Contact our office immediately after a traumatic injury to your mouth to get an urgent care appointment.
How Is Facial Trauma Treated?
Facial trauma is treated through a comprehensive approach that focuses on restoring both function and appearance. The treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of the injuries, which may involve imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans. Depending on the severity, treatment can range from nonsurgical methods, such as pain management and soft tissue care, to more complex surgical procedures to repair fractures, lacerations, or other damage to the bones and soft tissues of the face. After the initial treatment, follow-up appointments may be necessary to ensure full recovery and optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes.
What Are the Benefits of Facial Trauma Treatment?
Facial trauma treatment offers several key benefits that help restore both the function and appearance of the face. Benefits include:
- Promotes proper healing of facial fractures and injuries
- Restores facial symmetry and appearance
- Reduces the risk of long-term complications, such as nerve damage or chronic pain
- Enhances functionality, including the ability to speak, chew, and breathe properly
- Supports emotional well-being by improving self-esteem and confidence after trauma
Corpus Christi Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons Reviews
Dr. Haynes is very caring with a great "Chairside Manner". He was very concerned about my pain level and did everything possible to keep me comfortable. I recommend him and his staff 100%!
Had 2 bottom teeth extraction yesterday, the staff was so great, will definitely be going back for my top teeth! Little to no pain as of today!
Took my husband to have 2 teeth pulled out a few days ago by Dr Cutbirth. He is an amazing Doctor. He was very nice and caring. He made sure my husband was very comfortable considering the situation. He did an amazing job. My husband is in some discomfort but isn't in so much pain as before. He is healing well thanks to Dr Cutbirths great work. We would definitely recommend coming here.
