Facial Trauma

Facial Trauma is defined as an injury that happens to the face or mouth and ranges from mild to severe. Sometimes facial trauma can cause injuries severe enough to negatively impact quality of life. In order to give as much function to the face as possible and heal well, facial trauma must be treated by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

At Camelot Dental Group, our team has many years of experience in treating facial trauma injuries and restoring our patients’ confidence in their appearance. We want to restore the function in your face and minimize scarring in order to provide you the best possible outcome of your treatment. If you or a loved one has ever experience facial trauma, our team is here for you.

What causes facial trauma?

Accidents happen, but our team is here to help you. Facial trauma can happen in a variety of situations, but these are the most common:

• Automobile accidents (the leading cause of facial trauma)
• Athletic injuries
• Falls
• Physical altercations

What types of facial trauma are there?

The human face is extremely complex and made of many different soft tissues, nerves, blood vessels and bones. Facial trauma disrupts these bones and tissues and can cause problems with function during everyday activities, such as talking, eating, smiling and more. Whether facial trauma is mild, severe or somewhere in between, it can cause severe injuries, pain, dysfunction and cosmetic issues.

• Deep cuts to the face or inside of the mouth 
• Burns
