🦷 Broken Jaw (Fractured Jaw) — Prompt Treatment for Better Recovery
🚨 A broken jaw is a serious facial injury that requires timely medical attention.
A fractured jaw can occur due to road traffic accidents, sports injuries, physical assault, or workplace accidents. It may cause pain, swelling, difficulty chewing or speaking, loose teeth, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth.
🔍 Diagnosis may involve:
🩻 X-rays
🖥️ CT scans
👨⚕️ Detailed clinical examination
🛠️ Treatment depends on the type and severity of the fracture and may include conservative care or surgical fixation using plates, screws, wires, or elastics.
💙 At Balaji Dental & Craniofacial Hospital, specialized care is provided for complex facial trauma, jaw fractures, and craniofacial reconstruction.
