Jaw Fracture Treatment

A jaw fracture refers to damage occurring in the joints linking your lower jaw to the skull, known as temporomandibular joints (TMJ).

The TMJ can experience fractures, breaks, or dislodgment from the skull.

This displacement of the jaw joint is termed dislocation. Such injuries can lead to challenges in eating and resting. Seeking prompt medical attention is crucial to minimize complications and expedite the healing process.

Symptoms

Common symptoms associated with a Jaw Fracture Treatment may include:

Pain and swelling, often leading to facial puffiness.
Bleeding, which may include blood coming from the mouth.
Challenges with breathing.
Discomfort during chewing.
Stiffness in the jaw area.
Bruising and numbness on the face.
Dental-related sensations like gum numbness or teeth becoming less secure.

When to access Medical Care

If you have experienced any of the following symptoms, it’s advisable to seek medical attention:

Pain and Swelling: Individuals might experience significant discomfort accompanied by noticeable facial swelling. This swelling can affect the overall appearance of the face and add to the discomfort.
Bleeding: Bleeding, including from the mouth, can occur due to the impact of the injury. This can be distressing and necessitates immediate attention.
Breathing Challenges: Depending on the severity of the fracture, breathing difficulties may arise, especially if the injury affects the positioning of the jaw and impacts the airway.
Discomfort While Chewing: A broken jaw can lead to discomfort or pain when attempting to chew or move the jaw. This can make eating or speaking challenging.
Jaw Stiffness: Stiffness in the jaw area is a common manifestation, often making it challenging to move the jaw normally.
Numbness and Bruising: Bruising and numbness on the face can result from the impact of the injury and the subsequent inflammation. This can be concerning and indicate possible nerve involvement.
Dental-related Discomfort: The injury might cause dental-related issues such as numbness in the gums or teeth that feel loosened due to the trauma.

Prompt medical attention can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Determinants of risk

Following treatment for a mandible fracture, possible complications encompass aspects affecting quality of life. These include sensations of numbness, misalignment of the bite (malocclusion), discomfort while chewing (pain with mastication), and suboptimal wound healing.

Recovery process

Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
