JAW
When you injure your jaw, mouth and dental injuries may also occur. A tooth may crack, chip, break, be knocked out, become loose, or jam into the gum. Your teeth may not fit together properly. Jaw symptoms may be caused by a broken jaw, dislocated jaw, or temporomandibular syndrome.
Broken Jaw can cause difficulty breathing, speaking, or swallowing. You may have bleeding from the gums or between the teeth. It can also cut the inside of your mouth or face, where bacteria can enter and cause a serious infection. A broken jaw requires medical treatment.
Dislocated Jaw can occur when the lower jaw bone is pulled apart from one or both of the jaw joints connecting it to the base of the skull.
