Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth Symptoms

Toothache and jaw pain are common symptoms of dental injuries. Some people may complain of pain with chewing or with temperature changes.

Although a tooth may have broken off, loosened, fallen out, or been pushed into the gum line, other less common symptoms may be seen.

• Isolated bleeding from the mouth

• Cuts surrounding the lips and cheeks

• Facial swelling

• A change in the tooth’s color (may take a long time to appear)
