Treatment of Facial Injury

It is important to follow the post-operative instructions given by your dentist or oral surgeon to ensure proper healing. It’s also important to note that, in some cases, it might be recommended to keep the wisdom teeth if they are not causing any problems and are properly aligned. The dentist or oral surgeon will advise you on whether extraction is necessary, or if it is better to keep the wisdom teeth.

The treatment of facial injury depends on the type and severity of the injury. Some common types of facial injuries include:

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.
