Home treatment is usually all that's needed for mild bumps or bruises.</p> <h3 class="HwSubSectionTitle" fingerprint="e8c7bf43" fingerprint-exact="7f4889cf">Causes of facial injuries</h3> <p fingerprint="d0e12841" fingerprint-exact="47eb0419">Facial injuries most often occur during:</p> <ul fingerprint="40e08157" fingerprint-exact="d75e3a8b"> <li>Sports or recreational activities, like ice hockey, basketball, rugby, soccer, or martial arts.</li> <li>Work-related tasks or projects around the home.</li> <li>Car crashes.</li> <li>Falls.</li> <li>Fights.</li> </ul> <p fingerprint="03f72575" fingerprint-exact="620ad168">In children, most facial injuries occur during sports or play or are caused by falls. Minor facial injuries in young children tend to be less severe than similar facial injuries that occur in older children or adults. Young children are less likely to break a facial bone. That's because they have fat pads that cushion their faces, and their bones are more flexible. But young children are more likely to be bitten in the face by an animal. </p> <p fingerprint="bfd3b45e" fingerprint-exact="ffb79279">Head injuries may occur at the same time as a facial injury. So be sure to check for symptoms of a head injury. </p> <h3 class="HwSubSectionTitle" fingerprint="830054ec" fingerprint-exact="a65cece7">Types of injuries</h3> <p fingerprint="23411793" fingerprint-exact="304c9115">Facial injuries may be caused by a direct blow, a penetrating injury, or a fall. Pain may be sudden and severe. Bruising and swelling may start soon after the injury. Acute injuries include:</p> <ul fingerprint="2bae9d99" fingerprint-exact="20215b51"> <li>A cut or puncture to your face or inside your mouth. This often occurs with even a minor injury. But a cut or puncture is likely to occur when a jaw or facial bone is broken. The bone may come through the skin or poke into the mouth.</li> <li> <a class="HwLinkMultiMedia" data-hw-type="MultiMedia" data-hw-document-href="tp10710" data-hw-section="tp10710-sec" rel="MultiMedia" hw:document-type="MultiMedia" hw:document-href="tp10710" data-hwid="tp10710" hw:section-href="tp10710-sec" hw:link-type="image" href="?id=tp10710#tp10710-sec"><span class="HwLinkText">Bruises</span></a> from a tear or rupture of small blood vessels under the skin.</li> <li>Broken bones, such as a <a class="HwLinkMultiMedia" data-hw-type="MultiMedia" data-hw-document-href="zm6054" data-hw-section="zm6054-sec" rel="MultiMedia" hw:document-type="MultiMedia" hw:document-href="zm6054" data-hwid="zm6054" hw:section-href="zm6054-sec" hw:link-type="image" href="?id=zm6054#zm6054-sec"><span class="HwLinkText">fractured cheekbone</span></a>.</li> <li>A dislocated jaw. This may occur when the lower jawbone (mandible) is pulled apart from one or both of the joints connecting it to the base of the skull at the temporomandibular (TM) joints. This can cause problems even if the jaw pops back into place.</li> </ul> <h3 class="HwSubSectionTitle" fingerprint="980c27d0" fingerprint-exact="98013c31">Treatment</h3> <p fingerprint="fa01abc1" fingerprint-exact="1f73f773">Treatment for a facial injury may include first aid and medicine.
