Reasons for Emergency Oral Surgery
When you or a loved one experiences an emergency situation that results in damage to the face or mouth, urgent surgery may be required. There are many reasons why someone might require these emergency services, but the most common reason is due to an accident or injury. Some other reasons why someone might require emergency oral facial surgery include the following:
- Cancerous tumor removal: Oral cancer can occur on the lips, tongue, gums, or anywhere else in the mouth. If a tumor is found, it will need to be removed as soon as possible.
- Severe tooth infection: A tooth infection can cause severe pain, swelling, and fever. If not treated promptly, it can spread to other parts of the body and become life-threatening.
- Severe tooth decay: In cases where a tooth is damaged or decayed beyond treatment, the tooth must be extracted. If extraction is delayed, the tooth decay can spread to other teeth and cause further damage.
- Facial lacerations: Lacerations to the face can occur due to accidents, sports injuries, or other trauma. If the laceration is deep enough, it may require stitches to close the wound.
- Facial fracture: A facial fracture is a break in one or more of the bones of the face; the most susceptible to breakage tend to be the nose, jaw, cheekbone, and eye socket. If the fracture is severe, it may require surgery to repair.
- Jaw dislocation: A dislocated jaw occurs when the lower jaw is forced out of alignment with the upper jaw. This can be extremely painful, and surgery is often required to fix the problem.
