Bruised Tooth:
Sometimes when your child bumps their upper front tooth hard enough, but does not break or knock tooth out; you'll notice the tooth start to change to a darker color over the next several weeks. After that, the tooth may get lighter again in color although never return to its original color. This is basically a bruised tooth. Unless the tooth becomes abcessed (swollen on the gums above the tooth) or starts to hurt a lot, nothing needs to be done. Lift the upper lip to check the tooth and gums periodically, especially if there is pain. If you see a bump or swelling or otherwise abnormal appearance of the gums, please call our office.

Bruised Tooth: Sometimes when your child bumps their upper front tooth hard enough, but does not break or knock tooth out; you'll notice the tooth start to change to a darker color over the next several weeks. After that, the tooth may get lighter again in color although never return to its original color. This is basically a bruised tooth. Unless the tooth becomes abcessed (swollen on the gums above the tooth) or starts to hurt a lot, nothing needs to be done. Lift the upper lip to check the tooth and gums periodically, especially if there is pain. If you see a bump or swelling or otherwise abnormal appearance of the gums, please see a dentist.
