Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain bruised pain in your front tooth after a traumatic injury seems to be most probably due to fractures or cracked tooth..

At times the tissues over the tooth seems to be health but there are fine cracks or fractures in the tooth post injury that can be the cause of pain..
Such cracks can be ruled out in x rays by expert dentists or Endodontists..

So my suggestion to you is to get an x ray of the tooth done to rule out the exact cause of the pain and in case of cracks in roots of the tooth, the best way is to get the tooth removed followed by placement of artificial tooth in the form of either a bridge or an implant..

As of now you can take Ibuprofen or Naproxen for pain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
