AB Injuries  to  the  tongue  or  mouth  floor  can  cause  serious  hemorrhage  and  potential  airway  compromise.  Injury  to  or  absence  of  teeth  should  be  ascertained  by  inspecting  the  wound  for  possibly  entrapped  dental  elements.  Dorsal  surface  tongue  lacerations  may  be  associated  with  a  mandibular  surface  laceration.
