Treatment of Facial Injury
Treatment of Facial Injury
Fractures
Fractures of the facial bones (such as the nose, cheekbones, or jaw) may require surgery to realign the bones and restore normal function.
Lacerations
Cuts or tears in the skin may require sutures (stitches) to close the wound and prevent infection.
Dental Injuries
Injuries to the teeth or jaw may require treatment by an endodontist, oral surgeon, or orthodontist.
Eye Injuries
Injuries to the eye or surrounding structures may require treatment by an ophthalmologist.
Concussion
A blow to the head may cause a concussion, which requires rest and observation, and in some cases, medication.
The treatment plan will be tailored to the specific injury, and may include some combination of the following:
- Medication to manage pain and inflammation
- Wound care and sutures
- Surgery to realign broken bones
- Physical therapy to regain facial function and muscle tone
- Follow-up appointments with a dentist, oral surgeon or other specialists as needed
It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after a facial injury to prevent complications and promote healing.
