There are numerous potential causes to facial trauma, including automobile accidents, sports injuries, accidental falls, violence and injuries at the workplace.
These injuries can range from minor problems with the teeth to severe injuries involving the bones and skin of the face.
Facial injuries are typically classified in one of three groups: soft tissue (gums and skin), bone (fractures), or special regions (eyes, salivary glands, or facial nerves).
Soft tissue injuries that occur to the face usually include lacerations, and they are generally repaired with stitches.
