Pediatric Facial Trauma

Pediatric facial trauma refers to injuries to the face in children, often caused by falls, sports, or accidents. These injuries can affect the skin, bones, and teeth. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, or difficulty moving the jaw. Prompt medical evaluation is important to assess the extent of the injury and to provide appropriate treatment, which may involve medications, dental care, or surgery if necessary. Proper care is essential to prevent complications and ensure proper healing, as children's faces are still developing and may be more vulnerable to long-term effects from injuries.
