No: No. Your nose may be broken or your teeth or jaw may be injured. See ENT doc for exam.

Not at all: It sounds like you suffered some facial trauma in the collision. I certainly hope that you sought medical care in the immediate aftermath. If not, see a facial reconstructive surgeon or ENT to get a proper evaluation.

No: No. You probably have a fracture of the maxilla (top jaw). Please get an xray ASAP.
