Oral & Maxillofacial Trauma: Types of Injuries We Treat
Dr. Biondo is skilled in managing and treating various types of facial trauma, including:
- Maxillofacial Fractures: Injuries to the upper or lower jaw, cheekbones, or eye socket bone can cause significant pain and functional issues. Prompt treatment is essential to restore proper alignment and prevent long-term complications.
- Jaw Fractures (Mandible and Maxilla): These fractures can lead to misalignment, difficulty chewing, and facial asymmetry. Surgical intervention is often required to stabilize the jaw and restore normal function.
- Cheekbone (Zygomatic) Fractures: Injuries to the cheekbone can affect both appearance and function, requiring precise surgical repair to correct the damage.
- Eye Socket (Orbital) Fractures: These fractures can impact vision and eye movement, making immediate treatment crucial.
Abscesses & Cellulitis: Emergency Care for Oral Infections
Oral infections like abscesses and cellulitis can rapidly become severe if left untreated. These conditions often present with:
- Severe Pain and Swelling: Abscesses can cause intense pain and swelling in the affected area, and they may spread to other parts of the face or neck.
- Fever and Fatigue: Infections can lead to systemic symptoms, including fever and overall malaise.
- Difficulty Swallowing or Breathing: In severe cases, infections can obstruct airways, making it a medical emergency.
Immediate treatment, including drainage, antibiotics, and possible surgery, is essential to control the infection and prevent further complications.
