A Facial Trauma Treatment Manual

Dental trauma treatment has evolved dramatically over the last few decades. Although there are still challenges in maxillofacial injury treatment, advances in dental science have reduced mortality in facial trauma treatment. A maxillofacial injury is a polytrauma that can affect the brain and cervical spine. Facial Trauma surgeon can help the patient to regain back the original face. 

 

What exactly is Facial Trauma?



Facial trauma can be defined as an injury to the facial cavity or broken bones, including the jaws, nose, cheekbones, bones around the eyes, and teeth. A facial bone injury can be caused by a car accident, a fall from a great height, or a sporting injury.

Facial trauma, also known as maxillofacial injury, can be a complex and severe injury. Such treatments necessitate the expertise of a qualified oral surgeon and are not injuries that can be treated at home with a hot and cold compress. Charleston Oral and Facial Surgery offers facial trauma services in and around Toronto, allowing for rapid treatment of facial trauma.

 

Facial Trauma Diagnosis and Recovery

Physical examination and, if necessary, additional tests are used to diagnose maxillofacial injuries. The doctor or dentist is primarily concerned with swelling and pain. They also examine whether the jaws or peripheral bones have restricted movement. X-rays can be used to determine the extent of the fracture.

The oral cavity is lined with numerous tiny blood capillaries, and recovery is quick. The soft tissues of the eyelids or the areas beneath the eyes can be cured in four days, while the rest of the face can be cured in six days. Sutures to the nose or ears may take a little longer, up to fourteen days.

 

Who is Trained to Treat Facial Trauma?

In general, dealing with such complex and sensitive treatment requires specialised facial trauma surgeon. Most dentists receive four to six years of additional learning and training after graduating from dental school to become experts in facial trauma treatment.
