What, if anything, should I do about Dd's tooth after a knock in the mouth?

Dd was smacked in the tooth this afternoon by a metal hoop during PE. It's her front incisor which is only partly grown. The hoop swung into her gum/tooth and has cut the gum and it looks bruised too.

I don't know whether, as it's a big tooth, she should see a dentist or if that's over reacting as it's not wobbly or chipped/cracked.

What do you think?

Is a hefty knock likely to damage the tooth that's still in the gum? Do I need to do anything in particular? She says it's sore but that could just be because her gum is bruised.

I'd go too. Just to be on the safe side.

Thank you, I'll ring and see when they can fit us in.
