Heyas, I take generally good care of my teeth (brush several times a day, hopefully after each meal) though I fail to floss. Never gotten a cavity, so I consider my teeth generally strong. Oh, and I have drank milk like nobody's business since I was a kid - I'm in college now and drink about 4 glasses a day.

At the end of this summer I was working on a construction job and accidentally smacked my mouth incredibly hard with a socket wrench. My top 2 front and bottom teeth hurt like hell for a couple days, but I figured it was just the nerves regrowing. A couple days later, though, my gf pointed out that one of my teeth was fractured. There's a 'bullet' fracture in roughly the center with 4 hairline cracks going up down left right. They're incredibly difficult to see, I had examined my mouth in a mirror in bright light previously and failed to see them - no one else is going to notice (no one else is near my mouth).

I just wanted to know if it is cause for alarm - I think it's just the enamel that is fractured, but is there a good chance that it extends past that?

Oh, and there hasn't been any pain for a good month now.

Thanks!
