Types of Mouth Wounds

Mouth injuries can occur from various causes, including accidental bites, sharp foods, falls, or impact injuries. Common types of intraoral and mouth wounds we treat in Dallas-Fort Worth include:

  • Lacerations: Tears or cuts to the soft tissues of the lips, cheeks, gums, and tongue.
  • Punctures: Deep wounds caused by sharp objects or dental trauma.
  • Abrasions: Scrapes or rough areas on the inside of the mouth caused by friction.
  • Burns: Damage to the oral tissues from hot food, drinks, or chemicals.

Each type of injury requires careful examination and personalized treatment to ensure optimal healing. Thankfully, our team of oral surgeons has the expertise needed to treat a wide variety of intraoral wounds in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Why Immediate Treatment Is Important

Intraoral wounds may seem minor, but without proper care, they can lead to infections, scarring, or damage to surrounding structures. The mouth is a highly vascular area, meaning cuts and wounds can bleed significantly and may not heal properly without intervention. At DFWOMS, we understand the delicate nature of oral tissues and the importance of timely care.

Some signs that you need professional treatment include:

  • Persistent bleeding
  • Signs of infection, such as swelling, redness, or pus
  • Difficulty eating, drinking, or speaking
  • Pain that doesn’t improve over time

Treatment Options

At DFWOMS, we use advanced techniques to treat mouth wounds effectively. Treatment options include:

  • Suturing: For larger cuts or lacerations, our surgeons may use stitches to close the wound and promote faster healing.
  • Debridement: Cleaning and removing dead tissue to minimize the risk of infection.
  • Pain Management: We provide pain relief through opioid-free medications and offer guidance on managing discomfort at home.
  • Monitoring: Follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and assess for any signs of complications.
