What Happened?

I broke my jaw in an ATV accident on October 12, 2007 while visiting San Felipe with my son. I was seen at Hospital San Felipe next to the Police Station, and they treated me famously. The doctor spent about two hours piecing my chin back together. Little did they know that my entire TMJ on the right side was smashed. I also had a tooth on top that had mushroomed into my jawbone.

I visited an oral surgeon in Mexicali five days after the accident to have the tooth extracted and for an evaluation on the damage to my jaw. Dr. Rubio was exceptional, provided me with caring treatment and a thorough evaluation of the jaw. He stated that the jaw was broken and needed to be repaired.
