1) Well yeh she kicked me, but my teeth are also kind of my fault, focusing on school, going to work and working late nights on my album, has led to me not taking that great care of them. So, I may have bacteria in my mouth. But, after she kicked me it was kind of like a part of one of my teeth kind of chipped. I was also eating something at the time and I automatically knew that among what I was eating, I also had part of my tooth floating around in my mouth.

2) The teeth are not loose. Thankfully

3) Sorry but got no idea what ellis is. From what I remember a part of my tooth was chipped, but from the x - rays, it actually seems that it was three teeth that chipped.

4) No, they aren't from what I can tell on the x-ray and assuming that

5) No, there was no bleeding, neither from the gums nor from the tooth

6) See the answer above

7) Again, see the answer above

8) No it doesn't hurt at all, and there is no discomfort whatsoever, to cold, hot, soft, chewy, and hard food.

9) To be honest, it's not the teeth that hurt. My lips got swollen for a while, kind of like angelina jolie's, but it has returned to normal

Now

1) Yes I did

2 and 3) hold on

4) He said that a root may already be exposed and that it might be dying

I'll try to post the x-ray tomorrow, because I need to figure out how to hide the personal info
Interesting. It sounds like from these answers (and the other posts) that you may have a problem with the teeth being cracked, brittle and/or weak. Her kicking you could just be the thing that caused what was going to eventually happen anyway and possible alerting you to get it repaired while there is still time.

If the root is exposed it sounds like it may be more of a periodontal problem (bone and tissue loss) If you don't mind disclosing, how old are you?
