A member asked:
Can you die from mouth trauma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Trauma to the midface and mouth areas in civilian life is mostly from auto mishaps and assaults. You could have breathing obstruction which would be immediately apparent, or severe bleeding which could be a problem if unchecked. Most trauma in this area requires er attention but is rarely life threatening. See your doctor if this is you.
