Self diagnosis: Self diagnosis is an exercise in futility. You suffered a traumatic incident. Your injury can be anything from superficial to serious. Location, intensity of pain are indicators, but not a diagnosis, . CT scan can helpful in establishing diagnosis.Please see a specialist Oral Surgeon immediately.
