Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
After fall if he is fine within 24 hours there is nothing to worry.
Regarding dent usually it disappears within 2 years.
Head as well as brain will grow maximum during first 2 years.
Hence remodeling will occur during that time .
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Further queries invited.
