A fracture of the jaw, cheek, or teeth after a fall or impact should be seen early, especially if the bite does not meet, lip numbness remains, or breathing is difficult. Care ranges from simple fixation to surgery with plates, and urgency is decided at the exam.
Frequently asked questions
Does every facial impact need surgery?
No. Some fractures heal with limited movement and follow-up. Displacement and breathing trouble change the path.
