So I was playing with my dog, and she swung her head up really fast and hit my mouth. It felt like I lost all my teeth, and I tasted blood. When I looked in the mirror, they all looked fine at first, but when I looked more closely, the tooth to the right of the two front teeth was pushed up, and a little shorter than the other one. When I try to bite down, it feels like one of the bottom teeth are in the way. It hurt so bad, I wanted to rip them out.

The tooth that was pushed up, is not noticeable by anyone taking a glance... you have to look very carefully to notice. It happend last night at around 9:00 and hasn't stopped bleeding. It's only bleeding a very small amount. It still hurts, but not as much. Also, I feel a small bump behind it, probably due to swelling. The gums are also a little purply red, but that might just be because of the blood. I'm going to the dentist tomorrow.

Is it infected? Will I need braces? Is there anything else I can get besides braces? Will it go back to normal by itself? Is there any more information about this?
