bang to front crown

The other day my baby head butted my cown. The tooth has been root canaled and it has a short post. It doesnt feel loose but is a bit tender. Will it settle down by itself or must i see my dentist.

You can see if it will settle down.  It may be just bruised.  Unfortunately because it is root canal treated, you may not experience any pain on that tooth.  When is your next  checkup?

My next check up is due in6-8weeks. What signs of a problem should i look out for in the meantime? Is it more likely that the crown or the rootcanal will be damaged? The rootcanal is 13years old?

If you're not sure about the tooth, I would recommend going in earlier for a checkup on that tooth.  I can't tell you how much damage, if any, there is.  An x-ray may be able to find a fracture or some damage.  Any symptoms such as pain, swelling, mobility (looseness of tooth), etc?

The tooth is still a bit tender. No swelling or looseness that i can tell. Ive made an apointment with my dentist for next week just to be sure. Thank you for your advice
