Jaw pain can take over your day. It is there when you chew, when you talk, when you yawn. You might feel a click near your ear, or your jaw might lock for a moment. Over time, the ache spreads. Eating becomes a chore. You may start to wonder if surgery is the only way out.

Facial trauma can happen in an instant - from a fall, sports injury, or accident - and while broken bones often get immediate attention, many injuries affect the soft tissues of the face.
