Mouth Injuries
In the event of a motor vehicle collision, the driver or passengers involved might suffer severe injury. Seatbelt usage can help to significantly reduce the threat of violent impacts with the steering wheel or dashboard, but in the case of an airbag failure, an individual’s mouth might strike either of these objects with tremendous force.
If you or your loved one has suffered mouth or dental injuries due to an airbag defect or malfunction, it might be possible to seek financial compensation.

Oral Injuries in Auto Accidents
An injury involving the teeth or mouth can require emergency medical attention. Speaking, eating, and drinking all require the use of the tongue, teeth, and jaw. The following types of injuries might occur in a car collision:
- A severely damaged or partially severed tongue
- Broken jaw bone, or mandible
- Dislocation or other injury to the joint connecting the jaw and the skull
- Chipped, broken, or lost teeth
- Severe laceration of the gums
Although tongue and jaw injuries may require more extensive medical work, the dental consequences of chipping or losing teeth can also prove highly unfortunate, affecting an individual’s self-esteem in addition to necessitating costly dental treatments.
