What Causes Sore And Tender Teeth During Healing Of Nasal Stitch?

Had my first nose break. I hit it pretty hard and needed stitches for a deep wound as well. A CT scan was done. Now that I am healing and the swelling has gone done, I notice that my front teeth are tender and sore. Is this part of the normal healing process? They do no feel loose.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tenderness over the front teeth could be secondary to impact during the injury to the nose. The teeth might get hurt and lose its vitality. So consult a oral physician and get a radiograph and vitality test done to rule out the vitality and infection in the tooth. If the tooth is non vital and infected, get the tooth treated with RCT and crown. If the teeth are vital, then the pain is secondary to the impact. Just take symptomatic treatment like pain killers.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
