How can I prevent a broken or dislocated jaw?

Often, there isn’t a way to prevent the accidents and injuries that cause broken or dislocated jaws. You may lower your risk of facial fractures by wearing:

• Helmets, facemasks and mouthguards when riding motorcycles, bikes and scooters, skiing or playing contact sports.
• Protective headgear on the job, if applicable.
• Seatbelts in cars.
