Broken Jaw
Facial or Jawbone Fractures are common Emergencies that require immediate care. The most common cause of facial fractures is roadside accidents, interpersonal violence or domestic violence, and industrial accidents, as well as sports-related injuries.

The temporomandibular joint disorder occurs when there is an irregularity with the joint. There is pain while opening or closing the jaw. The joint may lock the jaw, causing an inability to open with severe pain. TMJ pain does not go away on its own.
Tooth Extraction
The tooth is extracted for a wide variety of reasons. They include severely damaged or broken teeth due to some trauma or cavities, loss of gum, and surrounding bone support due to poor hygiene.
Common Reasons For Tooth Extraction
The most common reason for extracting a tooth is tooth damage, such as breakage or fracture. Some other possible reasons for tooth extraction are as follows: extracting it when it is blocking the other one, severe gum disease may affect the supporting tissues and bone structures, severe tooth decay or infection, in preparation for orthodontic treatment (braces), and preparation for orthognathic surgery. Moreover, a tooth is also extracted if there is insufficient space and severe pain caused by wisdom teeth (impacted wisdom tooth). Receiving radiation to the head and neck may also require extraction in the field of radiation.
Post-Extraction Instructions
With surgical extractions or any minor surgical procedure in the mouth, you’ll most likely have one or more stitches at the extraction / surgical site. Regardless of it, whether your extraction is simple or surgical, it’s always important to closely follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions to speed up recovery and avoid any complications. The following underlying post-extraction instructions should be followed: bite down on a gauze pad for 30 minutes after the extraction to help stop the bleeding, avoid unnecessary talking, eating, and drinking for the first two hours after the extraction, drink plenty of cold liquids after the bleeding subsides. Maintain your diet, but start with clear liquids and soft foods for the first day. Don’t rinse or brush your teeth for 12 hours. Avoid the surgical area when brushing, although you can gently rinse with a diluted mouthwash or 1/4 teaspoon of table salt in a glass of lukewarm water. Don’t use straws, smoke, or spit forcefully as long as there is bleeding. Follow our instructions on using any prescribed pain medications.
