Dent: The dent may be due to the underlying fatty tissue which was damaged as a result of the trauma.

Concussion: Sounds like what we call a ping pong fracture to the skull, in most cases these get better without any intervention - if the indent persists and is of concern then see a local pediatric neurosurgeon.
