Rien,

Could you elaborate a little on where the pain is - i.e. the way in which a
contusion in her tooth hurts only when she tongues? Is it in the tooth? How
does the tonguing touch the pain off? I'm surprised a damaged tooth isn't
causing her more or less constant pain _in the tooth_ anytime it's touched
by anything (especially by the clarinet mouthpiece). Also, my understanding
of the term "contusion" (which was evidently the dentists' term for it) is
that it's a more formal medical name for a bruise. Bruises eventually heal.
I'm curious as to what's actually going on in more detail.
