Oral Injuries
Oral injuries refer to damage or trauma affecting the mouth, including the lips, gums, tongue, and inner cheeks. Common causes include accidents, sports injuries, or falls. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bleeding, or difficulty in chewing and speaking.
Treatment for oral injuries often involves cleaning the affected area, applying ice to reduce swelling, and using over-the-counter pain relievers. In more severe cases, such as fractures of the jaw or teeth, professional dental care from a dentist or oral surgeon may be necessary to ensure proper healing and function.
