Facial fractures can occur after falls, sports injuries, vehicle accidents, or other facial trauma. Recognising the signs early can help ensure that the injury is properly assessed and managed.

Some common signs of a facial fracture include severe facial pain or swelling, bruising around the eyes or cheeks, difficulty opening the mouth or chewing, and changes in how your teeth fit together when you bite. In some cases, people may also notice numbness in parts of the face or increasing swelling after the injury.

If you experience these symptoms following facial trauma, it is important to seek medical assessment. Early evaluation helps determine whether a fracture is present and what treatment may be required.

A facial CT or CBCT scan provides a detailed 3D view of the teeth, jaw, nerves, and surrounding facial structures. Unlike standard X-rays, these scans allow for more precise assessment and treatment planning by showing areas that may not be visible on traditional imaging.

CBCT imaging is commonly used when evaluating impacted teeth, jaw concerns, facial pain, dental implants, and other complex oral or facial conditions. The scan itself is quick, non-invasive, and designed to capture detailed images in just a few seconds.

Having a clearer view beneath the surface helps guide informed decisions and supports more accurate diagnosis and planning.

If you have been advised to undergo a facial CT or CBCT scan, it is often an important step in understanding your oral and facial health more thoroughly.

To***co use not only affects your lungs. It has a direct impact on your oral and facial health.

Smoking can delay healing, increase the risk of infection after procedures, and contribute to gum disease, bone loss, and oral cancer. These effects can influence both function and long-term outcomes.

Choosing to stop smoking is one of the most important steps you can take for your overall health.

Support is available, and small steps can make a meaningful difference over time.

Smoking affects more than you might realise.

Reduced blood flow to the gums can slow healing and weaken the support structures around your teeth. Over time, this increases the risk of gum disease and tooth loss.

The changes are often gradual, which is why they can go unnoticed until more advanced stages.

Understanding the impact is the first step. Taking action early can help protect your oral health in the long term.

Seeing the full picture makes a difference.

3D imaging allows for a more detailed view of your teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Instead of relying on flat images, this technology provides depth and clarity, helping guide more accurate assessment and planning.

It can be especially useful when evaluating complex cases, planning procedures, or identifying concerns that may not be visible on standard X-rays.

The result is a clearer understanding of what is happening beneath the surface, allowing for more informed decisions about your care.

If you have been advised to have further imaging, it is often to gain this level of insight before moving forward.

Your bite should feel natural and consistent. If something feels “off”, it is worth paying attention.

Changes in your bite can happen gradually. You may notice your teeth no longer meet the same way, increased sensitivity, or discomfort when chewing. These shifts are often linked to wear, grinding, missing teeth, or changes in the jaw over time.

Even small changes can place uneven pressure on certain teeth and joints, which may lead to further complications if left unaddressed.

An early assessment can help identify what is causing the change and guide the right approach before it progresses.

If your bite feels different, do not ignore it.
