Frequently Asked Questions About Facial Trauma Repair
Dr. Jani treats a range of facial injuries including knocked-out teeth, fractured or displaced teeth, soft tissue lacerations inside the mouth, and injuries to the jawbone and surrounding structures. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury.
Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If you cannot reinsert it, store it in milk or saliva and contact our office immediately. Time is critical for saving a knocked-out tooth.
As soon as possible. Early treatment significantly improves the chances of saving damaged teeth and achieving the best outcome. Contact our Livermore office at 925-447-0440 right away if you experience a dental or facial injury.
Dr. Jani evaluates jaw injuries with digital imaging and determines the appropriate treatment. Minor jaw fractures may be managed with stabilization techniques, while more complex fractures may require surgical intervention or referral to an oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist.
Dr. Jani uses careful, precise techniques to minimize scarring. The outcome depends on the nature and severity of the injury. Soft tissue repairs inside the mouth typically heal well with minimal visible scarring.
