Facial trauma

Facial trauma is when your face gets hurt. It can happen in a lot of different ways, like getting hit in the face, running into something, or having an accident like a car crash. When your face gets hurt, it can cause cuts, scrapes, and bruises. It can also break bones, like in your nose or jaw. When this happens, you might need to go to a doctor to help fix the problem. They might put a cast on your face to make sure everything heals correctly.
