I got in the head with a football at school today [it was tilted vertically and so managed to hit my eye, cheek, and mouth] a few hours ago and now one of my teeth is tingling. Normal?
Ok let me start off by saying your tooth will not fall out. Is it loose? Is the gum around it swollen and red? Just to be on the safe side I would say go to the dentist and let them take an x-ray. That will show whether or not the tooth is fractured or moved. Then if there is something wrong with the tooth the dentist can give you some options. But don't panic. Just get to the dentist as soon as you can.

OMG tell your mom to take you to the dentist tomorrow morning becuase one of your teeth might fall out
look up "tooth concussion" on the internet, see if this applies to you.

It sounds like you have temporary nerve damage. It should clear up.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the football.
it's probably your gums reacting to the impact. if it still bothers you, ask your dentist, or doctor
just go to the doctor
ah no. Its not normal. you need to see your dentist.
seems normal to me. put some ice on your face
if it was a very hard impact, should contact DDS
