It very much sounds bad.

How did it happen?

Sorry, when I think of a bruise I just think of one on a limb or something that doesnt really hurt unless you mess with it.

Dentist thinks its a combination of the way my mouthguard (worn on top teeth) has been worn down (impacted tooth is lower left canine - the pointy one) + me being a stomach sleeper (head should be elevated to help alleviate symptoms as you want to reduce bloodflow to the bruise)

So Im getting a new mouthguard made.

Its actually been a shitty few months with dental news for me lol. October I get told I have to have a molar removed because it has a hole in the side. Everyone is shocked when I told them theres no pain and I didnt even know. So end of November then Im eating on my left side while the right heals. December I start feeling pain in this tooth but it goes away. Was going to see dentist because it did feel intense at points but then I caught covid on New Years Eve lol. Im surprised it held out this long, enough time for me to recover (because Im obviously not a douchebag whos going to expose medical staff to covid especially in a setting where I have to have a mask off and theyre close in my face).
