Karate spoken here too. It should be alright in a week or so. If
it swells, hurts or discolored, see a dentist pronto. (fast)

I was thinking about take Shorin ryu Karate a few months ago. So, I did some research on Karate in general. I asked some question here on Yahoo too. I got the same weird explanations that Karate has some kind of extensive grappling too. I thought that was odd and stretching the truth a bit. Anyway, from the general research I a have seen about Karate in all it's forms is this, it has: handstrikes, kicking, throws/sweeps, and a follow up strikes on the ground. I have never grappling on the ground like in BJJ or Judo. That is the general strategy of Karate in a fight, punch/kick, throw (if needed), and strike them on the ground (usually with a punch). I don't know where anybody gets any type of grappling (other than standup throw or strikes from a clinch) from Karate. If you look at Lyoto Machida in the UFC, he does that general Karate strategy, his style is Shotokan Karate. He punches/kicks, uses a sweep/throw, and finished it from there. All his ground grappling is mostly BJJ from what I know, not Shotokan. But, you see the Karate skills he specializes in emphasized a lot. He isn't know to be a ground grappling wizard. Karateka just aren't known for that. But, if you are just surpised that Karate is more than just punches and kicks, well, yes, it indeed has more! Karate isn't bad for a martial art. I think in the katas and more advanced material, they may address more with ground grapplers, but, not in general. It has some good moves and all. You just have to do some research on Karate and compare it with your potential school. When I was thinking about Karate, I did the research as I said, then compared it with that Shorin Ryu school. They didn't have hardly any throw or sweeps and it was mainly just point sport Karate. I was disappointed and looked elsewhere. But, all those moves: knees, elbows, trips, sweeps, throws, and takedowns are indeed part of original Karate. They aren't added on in modern times from what I know. When I looked into a Kung Fu school they were also the same way. But, none of the styles have ground grappling extensively, that is all added on and is "new" if they have it.

You'll be fine. I got kneed in the mouth once and I swore my tooth was loose. I could feel it shaking when I jumped down stairs. Turns out I went into the dentist and nothing was wrong. It's probably in your head but be safe and get it checked out.
Cheers!

I agree with tombstoneaz...you should try to eat softer foods while your tooth repairs itself. Just don't, say, bit into an apple.

try not to disturb the tooth, use a knife to cut all your food to give it time to heal
get a mouth guard for ALL sports!!!

It might be loose... but leave it where it is and be gentle and conscious of it... and it will heal itself.
