It may heal itself?? try not to bite on it for a few days & wait & see. If the nerve dies?? the tooth will turn dark & will require a rt canal & a crown. This would take some time to occurr weeks or months to happen. If you get a lot of swelling go to your dentist for antibiotics. Bout all you can do right now!! Good luck. DR Walker
sounds like an infection is already festering, its too late but to go to the doctor. lil miss perfect teeth
Things to check for - Go get a recent good picture of you smiling and compare your teeth to now. Tap your teeth together and see if the injured tooth feels like it hits first. It shouldn't be hurting when you bite down.
The best idea is to go to your dentist immediately to have it looked at, and possibly repositioned and set before it sets on its own out of position.
