Traumatic Dental Injury
Chicago, IL
Unexpected facial trauma can be both quite terrifying and extremely painful, causing severe damage to your mouth and teeth. The long-lasting complications from these injuries can span years, and those who suffer from them may require intensive surgery as well as rehabilitation. Having a skilled and qualified medical team like you can find here at Cameo Dental Specialists is essential to help ensure not only a proper recovery but also the peace of mind that any injuries that you have sustained are not going to be permanently disfiguring and disabling.
TREATING SEVERE TRAUMA TO THE FACE
Some of the more frequent causes of these injuries can range from the commonplace to the tragic. Some of the often causes of these injuries include:
- Slips and falls are one leading cause
- Automobile accidents
- Domestic violence can also lead to severe facial injuries
- Sports injuries
- Workplace injuries
- Even accidents
These injuries can be broken down into three main groups:
- Bone injuries (fractures and broken bones)
- Soft tissue injuries (such as what occurs to the gums and skin)
- Domestic violence can also lead to severe facial injuries
- And finally, special regions (such as the orbit, salivary glands, and the nerves of the face)
Regardless of the cause, the need for prompt and thorough care is vital to ensure proper treatment and healing.
