Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that with the description above, there is no possibility of any internal brain injury.
I agree with you that there is a chance of infection in the scalp, as teeth are common sources of bacteria. So, you should start a course of antibiotics.
For pain relief, you may take diclofenac tablets.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
