Facial Trauma Management: What to Do After an Accident

Understanding Facial Trauma

Facial trauma refers to injuries affecting the face, jaw, mouth, or surrounding structures due to accidents, falls, sports injuries, or violence. These injuries can range from minor cuts to complex fractures and require immediate attention to prevent long-term complications.

At Dr. Tayyeb’s Dental & Maxillofacial Center, we specialize in advanced facial trauma management in Gorakhpur, offering emergency care and reconstructive solutions.

What to Do Immediately After a Facial Injury

  1. Stay Calm and Assess the Situation
    Check for bleeding, swelling, difficulty breathing, or unconsciousness. If the person is unresponsive or has severe bleeding, call emergency services immediately.
  2. Control Bleeding
    Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze. Avoid pressing on obvious fractures or deep wounds.
  3. Avoid Moving the Jaw
    If you suspect a jaw fracture, do not attempt to move or realign it. Immobilize the area and seek professional help.
  4. Apply Cold Compresses
    Use ice packs to reduce swelling and pain. Wrap the ice in a cloth to avoid direct contact with the skin.
  5. Preserve Knocked-Out Teeth
    If a tooth is dislodged, rinse it gently and place it in milk or saline. Bring it to the dentist immediately.

When to Seek Professional Help

  • Visible facial deformity or asymmetry
  • Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
  • Persistent bleeding or numbness
  • Loose or broken teeth
  • Vision changes or eye injuries
