X-Rays show no problems with my damaged tooth but it still hurts. What’s the deal?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

I was assaulted Just over a week ago. The gum above my two front teeth was very painful and sore after the impact. One front tooth is very tender to bite on, it is not loose or broken. I did have an x ray in the hospital and it shows no signs of any damage.The gum around the front teeth is still quite sore and have some discomfort in the front teeth that comes and goes. Do you think there is damage to to the pulp in the tooth? Can an x ray miss something?

I have food stuck underneath my gum-line. Will it cause any harm to leave it there?

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010
Q.
I got two really tiny flat bits of food (pepper I think) stuck at the top of one of my canines, and in trying to get them out, I pushed them up further, under the gum. Now I can just very faintly see tiny shadows underneath my gum at the top of my tooth (though apparently my friend can’t see them!) The tooth is right at the front of my mouth & I don’t want to damage the gum by trying further to get the bits out. There is no inflammation. Will it cause any harm to leave the bits there? Will they come out by themselves or get worse? Thanks for any help you can give!,
