Trauma & Emergency – FAQs
Oral and maxillofacial emergencies include facial trauma, fractured jaws, knocked-out teeth, severe oral infections, uncontrolled bleeding, or rapidly developing swelling. These conditions may impair breathing, chewing, or speech, or place teeth and facial structures at risk for long-term damage. Traumatic injuries are often linked to outdoor recreation, motor vehicle accidents, workplace incidents, or sports participation.

Yes. Bend Oral Surgery prioritizes trauma and emergency cases and provides same-day evaluation when urgent treatment is required. Early surgical intervention can reduce complications, preserve damaged teeth, and improve long-term outcomes for both bone and soft tissue structures.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out due to trauma, it should be treated as a dental emergency. Handle the tooth only by the crown and avoid touching the root. If possible, gently rinse the tooth and place it back into the socket. If that is not possible, store it in milk or saline and contact Bend Oral Surgery immediately. The highest chance of saving the tooth occurs within the first hour. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. DeLisi provides prompt surgical care for avulsed teeth, displaced teeth, and related injuries, using 3D imaging and trauma protocols to stabilize the area, manage pain, and protect long-term oral health.

Yes. Bend Oral Surgery provides comprehensive treatment for facial trauma, including lacerations, displaced or knocked-out teeth, soft tissue injuries, and fractures involving the jaw or facial bones. As a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Donald DeLisi has extensive training in both functional repair and facial reconstructive techniques, allowing him to restore appearance, symmetry, and oral function following injury. Advanced 3D CBCT imaging is used to diagnose trauma and plan precise surgical correction. When cases involve more severe trauma, systemic injury, or multi-specialty coordination, treatment may be integrated with hospital-based care or plastic, ENT, or oncology specialists to ensure the best clinical outcome.
