Injury to mouth: Mouth trama is a general term for an injury to the teeth, gums, tongue and jaw. It can be related to an accident where you are hit in the mouth damaging teeth, bone or soft tissue. It can be a very localized injury from improper use of tooth brush. You may experience mouth trama from clinching or grinding of teeth causing tooth wear, chipping or periodontal bruising.
