It : It is hard to say why you have the "blister". It is possible if you were hit hard enough, your tooth fractured under the gumline. If that is the case, you may need to have it extracted.
It's best that you go to a dentist to have an xray to determine what damage has been done.

Tooth trauma: The blister can be a fistula caused by the tooth becoming non vital due to the trauma. A root canal may be required.
