What Is Dental or Facial Trauma?
Accidents happen, and when they involve trauma or injury to the mouth, jaw, or face, it's important to seek immediate care. Dental trauma symptoms such as cracked or loose teeth, cuts to the gums, or jaw fractures can result from sports, accidents, or everyday mishaps. At Joe Pausa, DMD in Alpharetta, GA, we are equipped to handle a variety of types of dental trauma and provide effective treatment. With years of experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery, Dr. Sergio Pausa specializes in dental care for sports-related facial injuries and other oral trauma. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent complications like infection. If you've experienced dental or facial trauma, contact us immediately to schedule an emergency appointment and receive the care needed to prevent further damage.
How Do You Treat Facial Trauma?
Trauma to the face or mouth requires a precise and individualized approach. Dr. Pausa will evaluate the injury and may take digital X-rays to assess the damage. He will then explain your treatment options. If the injury is severe, dental surgery for facial trauma may be necessary, especially for the jaw or teeth. We'll also discuss tooth replacement options (such as dental implants) if one or more teeth are damaged beyond repair. In more complex cases, multiple procedures may be required, and Dr. Pausa will schedule them to ensure you have enough time to heal between treatments.
What Are the Benefits of Treating Dental Trauma?
Oral and facial trauma treatment provides several key benefits, including restored function, improved appearance, and prevention of long-term complications. Timely and effective treatment can help ensure the best possible outcome. The benefits of treating facial trauma include:
- Restores function, including chewing and speaking
- Prevents infection from cuts, fractures, or broken teeth
- Minimizes long-term damage and complications
- Improves aesthetics, restoring facial symmetry
- Promotes quicker healing and smoother recovery
- Provides pain relief during and after treatment
- Prevents further injury or worsening of the trauma
- Restores confidence by improving facial appearance and function

The best in town, from the moment you walk in they are friendly, attentive and very professional.
