Thanks for sharing your concern with Health Care Magic..!

Please note that, you should primarily consult a dentist to check the extent of damage immediately, to ascertain if the trauma has affected only the tooth or underlying jaw as well.

In such conditions dentist generally perform radio graph to analyse the extent of the fracture. However most of the cases patients are provided with antibiotics and pain killers to avoid any secondary infections at the trauma site. Treatment will be executed accordingly.
