Hi, I suffered a fall 2 weeks ago which resulted in half of my front tooth being broken and also damaging my lip. I didnt black out on the fall but some 2 days later I started to suffer with headaches. By the 6th days caouldnt bear the headache any longer and visited A&E. I was advised to take a few days rest and ibuprofen and paracetamol and advised that should the headache worsen to return.Whilst the headaches have not worsened they have still been debilitating and I am still taking painkillers as advised. It seems to ease when I rest but otherwise no real let up.I am concerned as to whether I should go back to A&E as I hate to waste anybodys time but I have an ache in my left cheek and ear and today an ache in my left arm. I would have thought that concussion would be over by now so just want to feel better!
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, Since your front teeth has broken, i would advise you to visit a dentist to check the tooth clinically as well radiologically. If the fracture involves pulp or periapical region, root canal treatment or pulp capping has to be done. Take complete course of antibiotics too. If the fracture has not involved pulp, please do get the tooth restored using tooth colored filling materials. If the fracture portion has left untreated, it can lead into dentin sensitivity. Avoid biting on hard objects using the tooth. Hope this helps.
