I feel like a crazy person. I come here so often just to read stories.
my toddler was flailing today and hit me in the face. I was bent over by him so it wasn’t a very strong blow and it was more to my cheek bone. I ended up biting down into my lip lightly. It didn’t hurt at all. There was no pain in any of my teeth and the spot where I think took the impact, is right above where I have two teeth removed and a root canal.
there is no pain but I am worried that I somehow caused damage. How would I know when and if I should call the dentist? I was hit in the face by another one of my children years ago and ended up being in the worst pain of my life and needing a root canal. That hit was much harder and it felt strange immediately after. Today there is nothing like that. It happened two hours ago and I can eat hot and cold and it’s not sensitive, but the fear of wondering if I’ve injured another tooth is all I can think about.
I went to the dentist 3 months ago when I bent down and hit my face on the arm rest. He did an x-ray and it was fine. That was my front tooth and the impact was harder than today’s. So I really don’t want to have to go back. It’s embarrassing
