Doing our part amidst corona pandemic outbreak

We at Richardsons Face Hospitals doing our part amidst corona pandemic outbreak.

This is case of a girl who brought her mother who had fallen down and had multiple mandibular bone fractures. She was primarily taken to a local Government hospital for her treatment. Unfortunately, India was put under lockdown due to the corona virus scare and the government hospital had allotted a lot of beds for the current corona virus patients that their priority was more focused on those patients. This patient was sent home with very basic treatment with some arch bars, elastics and bands and consequently the patient had no occlusion which made it difficult for her to chew anything. Provided she had pain continuously.

The patient was directed to us (Richardsons Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) by another physician. At the time of crisis it is important to continue to carry on with our duty to help patients with other medical problems which may affect their quality of life and to save our community. Keeping this in mind, our surgeon, Dr. Sunil Richardson, planned a surgery to repair the two fractures in the lower jaw. The surgery went on well as planned and Dr. Sunil Richardson was able to repair the mishap committed by the earlier surgeon. The mandibular fracture was reduced and the arch bars were removed.

Subsequently, our medical team here at Richardsons was able to execute our duty amongst the lockdown in India. It is the right of every person in need of medical help to attain the same as well.
