Patients who suffer such injuries may have facial lacerations, fractured facial bones (cheek, nose or eye socket), fractured jaws (upper and lower) and broken teeth. There are a number of possible causes such as motor vehicle accidents, accidental falls, sports injuries, interpersonal violence and work-related injuries.<\/p>\n
