[|Human|] My son fell over 3 days ago and hit the top of his eye lip. He was fine after it. Now 3 days later its bruised really bad but he has a swollen cheek and it crying and holding his face. He also needs fillings on his teeth on the same side which we are having this week. Do I need to take him to emergency right now? Will the swelling harm him?
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. What do you think is the cause of his cheek swelling?is it just the bruise or the underlying tooth is involved? Swelling of cheek indicates, trauma to tooth and supporting structures.  I would suggest you to visit your dentist first regarding this, a vitality test for the concerned tooth will be carried out and then based upon the level of fracture of tooth (if any), treatment can be undertaken. Later you can inquire about your other decayed tooth too, if adequate mouth opening is there and child is cooperative then superficial fillings(if any)can be carried out in the same sitting else you will have to visit later for that. His first priority should be the involved tooth and its suitable treatment. Hope it helps. Thanksnow t
