Jaw Fracture is a break or crack in the jawbone, commonly caused by accidents, falls, sports injuries, or facial trauma. It may result in pain, swelling, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, difficulty chewing, bleeding, or changes in the alignment of the teeth. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important to restore proper jaw function and support healing. Treatment may vary depending on the location and severity of the fracture and can include observation, immobilization, or surgical management. If you experience symptoms of a jaw injury, timely evaluation by a qualified oral and maxillofacial specialist is recommended.
