Facial injuries

An injury to the face can be caused by almost anything, including falling over, cutting yourself shaving or being struck in the face by an object.

Mouth and tongue cuts

Cuts to the mouth and tongue can happen after a fall or knock to the head. Most are minor and heal on their own, but some may need medical treatment.

Facial droop

Facial droop can cause your face to look asymmetrical, and moving your facial muscles may be difficult. Call triple 000 if you have facial drooping.
