Types of Injuries & Treatments
Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts to skin or gums; care focuses on protecting facial nerves, salivary glands, and ducts while minimizing scarring.
Bone Injuries: Jaw or facial bone fractures may require wiring or surgical placement of plates and screws (rigid fixation) to stabilize bones and allow proper healing.
Dental Injuries: Displaced or avulsed teeth may be replanted and stabilized with splints or replaced with dental implants if necessary. Immediate care, such as storing a tooth in milk or salt water, is crucial for success.
