Do you think i should go to the doctor for a human bite that didn't break skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: In general, if there is no break in the skin, there is no need for medical attention. Be aware, however, that if there is a break in the skin, you could end up with some pretty nasty infections. The mouth is teeming with bacteria.
