Following an accident that left you with facial trauma, your first thought may be going in to see your doctor. While your doctor is going to be a valuable resource, they should not be the only resource you consider. Your oral surgeon may be a much better resource in this instance. They go through and study all of the inner-workings of the face as part of their education. If you need someone that can help restore not only how you look, but also proper function to your face, oral surgeons are likely to be your best bet.

What Oral Surgeons Can Help With

Whenever you have any type of facial trauma on the face that is within any type of proximity to the mouth, teeth, or jaw, you should seek out the opinion of an oral surgeon. They study these more than general dentists and general practitioners. Unless you are going to see a facial specialist, the best option you have is an oral surgeon, because that is what they are. They can help you when you have lost teeth, broken bones, cuts into or through facial tissue, cleft palates, trouble swallowing, and so much more.

When you have an accident that left you with facial trauma, go in and see your oral surgeon. The worst case is they tell you that there is not much you can do. However, the best, and most likely, case is that you get someone that can help you restructure your face and return you to full functionality. They can do a lot to help you feel better, plus they can also help you look better. Don't decide that you have to live with the effects of the accident. Let your oral surgeon help.
