Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain if your child has a swelling at the site of cut it can be due to inflammation of soft tissues at the site of injury/ cut..

If her teeth aches it can be due to injury to the gum and teeth due to injury but not necessarily breakage or fracture of teeth or jawbone..

But as she has pain an evaluation is must and you can consult a Pedodontist and get evaluated and a Panoramic x ray will helo in diagnosis..

As of now you can give her Acetaminophen to relieve pain..
Do cool compresses over the swelling..
Apply antiseptic ointment to prevent infection..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
