Dentist: See your dentist. You may not be able to see small changes of trauma or damage above the gum line. You will likely need XRs done. All the best.

See dentist asap: There could be micro-fractures in the teeth, the gum tissue/bone around the teeth may have been compromised, and the nerves of the teeth could or have been affected. See a dentist.

See dentist: for an exam to make sure there is not subtle damage to the tooth that you cannot see.

Dental exam: Even though your teeth look fine it is important to have them checked by a dentist. Because of the trauma that you had. The concern is fractures that are you can't see, looseness, damage to the nerve or the surrounding bone. Your symptoms may be just the trauma area healing. Meanwhile eat a soft diet while you are healing. ,call a dentist and get the area checked.
