Suggest Remedy For Tooth Pain
I fell on my mouth, split my lip, and my front tooth was hurting a lot. That was a week ago. It is still not feeling normal, but the pain is gone.I am wondering if there is anything I should do about it other than just try not to mess with it?I stopped wearing my retainer because I was concerned that it might cause damage. What should I do?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
When you have fallen there might be trauma on your front tooth also, that is why it was hurting at that time.
Now because of trauma there might be some infection in the apex of the tooth which is causing this abnormal feeling.
You must visit your dentist and get an x-ray done of the tooth, as it will show the infection and its area, according to which the treatment will be done.
Hope it will help you.
