Pain in front tooth!

I used my tooth as scissors yesterday! You know...to get a tag off of a purchase, and BAM, a really weird jolt of pain followed...No grey, blood, loosening or inflammation, but it still hurts..well, aches...should I be worried? Should it just settle on it`s own?

It has been almost 2 weeks since the incident, and besides a bit of sensitivity, it seems to have settled down on it`s own...lesson learned!

HI,
There can be a minor injury or jolt to the front teeth because of misuse. But because it is not associated with bleeding, loosening or inflammation, it should settle down on its own. Painkillers can be taken if the pain is severe.
