Jaw Fracture

Jaw fracture is a common facial injury. The jaw has two parts, the upper jaw, and the lower jaw. The upper jaw is fixed in its place and the lower jaw is able to move. Jaw fractures are mostly caused by hitting or hitting the bone. This means that the joint of the skull and jaw has moved from its place.

Jaw fractures can cause pain, numbness in the gums, swelling, loose teeth, swelling of the face, stiffness in the jaw, bleeding from the mouth, difficulty in chewing, and difficulty in breathing. Pain, swelling, and bleeding are the main symptoms of a jaw fracture.

A jaw fracture is what the person is examined for, and most of these fractures are related to gum problems or tissue loss. For these, doctors treat with antibiotics, and medicines are also given for pain. You may be given a tetanus injection. Most jaw fractures are not serious and only the upper and lower teeth are fused together so that the broken bone can be joined.

In more severe cases, jaw fractures require surgery in which objects such as plates or screws are placed in the jaw so that you can move the jaw normally and eat.
