See dentist: You may have done one or more of the following: 1. Fractured a tooth, 2. Bruised the ligaments of the teeth, 3. Bruised the ligaments and structures of the TMJ (your jaw joint).Sounds like 1 or 2, not 3.See your dentist right away for evaluation. For now, take Ibuprofen - 400 mg, 3 times a day with 12-16 ounces of waterfor the next 5 days.Only if you can take this without any stomach /gi problems.

See your dentist: You probably brocken a tooth that's already decayed or an old filling and exposed a nerve of that tooth. Either way you need to see a dentist to treat that tooth.
