Emergency Oral Surgery - The Nature of Maxillofacial Trauma

If you or a loved one suffers a facial or mouth injury that requires a trip to the emergency room, be sure to ask that an OMS is called for consultation. With their background and training, OMSs are the specialists most qualified to deal with these types of injuries. In some cases, they may detect a “hidden” injury that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Soft Tissue Injuries of the Maxillofacial Region

Suturing is a method used to repair soft tissue facial injuries when they happen. Suturing also is the preferred method, because in the healing process it is the least likely to further alter the natural cosmetics to the facial area. We at Tennessee Valley Oral Surgery take pride in not only diagnosing, but also treating injuries that occur to the facial nerves, salivary glands, and duct channels.

 

Bone Injuries of the Maxillofacial Region

Bone breaks and fractures of the face are similarly treated in other parts of the body. The particular type of treatment is dictated by different elements, which incorporate the area of the break, the seriousness of the crack or fracture, the age and structural strength of the patient. At the point when an arm or a leg is broken, a cast is regularly applied to balance out the issue that remains to be worked out for recuperation. Since a cast can't be put on the face, different methods have been created to balance out facial breaks.
