Why Is Quick Treatment Critical for Facial Trauma and Fractures?

Facial trauma and fractures can happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Whether caused by a car accident, sports injury, fall, or physical altercation, these injuries can significantly impact your appearance, function, and overall health. Timely treatment is not only essential for pain relief but also critical to achieving optimal long-term results. At Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center, our skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons provide expert emergency care to help restore both form and function as quickly as possible.
 

The Importance of Immediate Care

Facial bones are delicate and complex. Injuries to the jaw, cheekbones, eye sockets, or nasal bones can lead to long-term complications if not treated promptly. These may include:
 

•          Difficulty chewing, speaking, or breathing

•          Misalignment of the jaw or bite

•          Vision problems from orbital fractures

•          Persistent swelling, scarring, or facial asymmetry
 

Quick intervention helps minimize these risks and allows for more precise realignment of bones and soft tissues. Early treatment also lowers the chance of infection and improves healing outcomes.

When to Seek Emergency Care

If you or someone you know has suffered an injury to the face or jaw, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Signs that urgent treatment may be needed include:
 

•          Severe facial pain or swelling

•          Bleeding that does not stop

•          Difficulty opening the mouth or moving the jaw

•          Loose or knocked-out teeth

•          Vision changes or eye movement problems
 

Delaying care can lead to worsening symptoms and more complicated treatment down the road.
