Hope your son is doing fine now. I can understand the anxiety of parents during such falls as I’m a father to two small kids. No matter how much attention you pay they end up getting hurt.
Having said this please visit a paediatric dental surgeon or visit Dr Rahul Gogoi in Guwahati and have a thorough check up done and also take necessary X-ray to see if there are any internal injury to the tooth.
Hope this helps
Cheers
