injured teeth?

Hi, my daughter fell on a step yesterday afternoon and had a graze on her chin to show for it. I didn't realise anything else was wrong until dinner time when she was unable to chew her food because her front teeth hurt. She asked for baked beans instead but was unable to eat them either. Today she has survived on liquids and mushing a gingerbread man in her mouth. There is no sign of injury in her mouth but she is obviously in pain when chewing.

The question is, should I phone the doctor or the dentist and if so should I do it now or give it a couple of days to see if things improve?

Big teeth or baby teeth?

I would phone the dentist and they will probably want to see her. IMO it is best to get teeth problems after an accident checked asap.

Baby teeth (she's four). Will give dentist a call then? Having trouble getting out of house though as son has also injured himself recently and don't think I could get him down town. (What a rotten week.)
