Jaw Injury Evaluation After Dental Trauma
Careful assessment to protect bite, stability, and function.
Experiencing Jaw Pain or Bite Changes After an Injury?
Early Evaluation Can Help Prevent Long-Term Problems.
Jaw injuries are often overlooked after accidents, especially when symptoms appear gradually. Trauma to the jaw can affect bite alignment, joint movement, and chewing function. Without proper evaluation, these issues may worsen over time.
At Brush365 Dental Injury, jaw injury evaluation focuses on assessing jaw alignment, stability, and function following trauma. Early diagnosis allows us to identify concerns, guide treatment planning, and coordinate referrals when additional care is required.
Common Signs of Jaw Injury:
Pain or soreness when chewing or opening the mouth
Changes in bite alignment after an accident
Clicking, popping, or restricted jaw movement
Facial or jaw swelling following trauma
Difficulty speaking or chewing comfortably

How Jaw Injury Evaluation Works
Jaw injury evaluation focuses on understanding how trauma has affected jaw movement and bite alignment. Some injuries are immediately noticeable, while others develop days or weeks after the incident.
Our team carefully evaluates jaw position, range of motion, and bite stability to determine whether further treatment or referral is necessary.
