Jaw fracture and face injury treatment in Roorkee
BEAUT32 DENTAL TREATMENTS
Maxillofacial Surgeon in Roorkee for Tooth, Jaw and Face Injuries
Go to the nearest hospital emergency department first if the injured person has heavy bleeding, difficulty breathing or swallowing, a head injury, is drowsy or vomiting, or has a problem with their vision. Once those have been checked, call Beaut32 on +91 70171 40563 about the jaw, face or teeth.
Accidents happen, and when they involve your teeth, it can be very distressing! Beaut32’s dental treatments and care offers effective treatments to restore both your function and aesthetics, to the best possible outcome.
While minor cases like chipped teeth are frequent, more severe injuries, such as knocked-out or fractured teeth, require immediate professional attention.
Additionally, some trauma can affect neighboring teeth without visible symptoms, making a thorough dental examination essential. If you or a loved one experiences a dental injury, acting quickly can save your tooth and prevent long-term complications.
Road traffic accidents and falls can also break the jaw or the bones of the face, or leave the face swollen. At Beaut32 these injuries are seen by our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr Anushri Bajaj (MDS). Some jaw fractures can be treated in the clinic chair under local anaesthetic. Others need a general anaesthetic and are treated in a hospital, and which hospital depends on the case.
Our guide Broken jaw after a road accident: what to do explains the signs, when to go to hospital first and how jaw fractures heal.

Immediate Steps for Knocked-Out Teeth
How to Act Quickly (Within 30 Minutes)
Step 1: Pick up the tooth by the crown (the chewing surface) NOT the root
Locate the tooth immediately; don’t leave it at the site of the accident. Handle the tooth carefully when you pick it up, and never touch the root of the tooth, only the crown (chewing surface).
Step 2: If dirty, gently rinse the tooth with water
Use only water to gently rinse off any dirt. Do not use soap or chemicals. Don’t scrub or dry the tooth, and don’t wrap the tooth in a tissue or cloth.
Step 3: Reposition the tooth in the socket immediately, if possible
Try to put the tooth back into its socket right away. Gently push it in with your fingers, by handling the crown, or position it above the socket and close your mouth slowly. Hold the tooth in place with your fingers or by gently biting down on it.
Step 4: Keep the tooth moist at all times
The tooth must stay moist at all times, either in your mouth or, if it can’t be replaced in the socket, put it in milk, in your mouth next to your cheek, or in an . Don’t use regular tap water; root surface cells can’t tolerate that for extended periods of time
Bring the tooth with you to your emergency appointment ideally. It's best to see the doctor within 30 minutes;however, it is possible to save a tooth even if it has been outside the mouth for an hour or more

Questions
Can a broken jaw be treated without going to hospital?
Some can. It depends on where the jaw is broken and whether the pieces have moved. Dr Anushri Bajaj decides after examining you and seeing the X-ray or scan.
What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently with water, and push it back into the socket if you can. If you cannot, keep it moist and come to the clinic within 30 minutes.
How long does a broken jaw take to heal?
About six weeks, even when plates are holding it in place. Our guide Broken jaw after a road accident: what to do covers food, cleaning and going back to work.
