i work at a Doggie daycare and as I bent down to get this dog on leash she head butted me in the face and nailed me in the teeth. Now almost all of them have stopped being numb except front right one wondering if it was just hit harder than the others? Should I just wait it out see if it goes away or should I be worried? Thanks for any help on this matter.

The dog headbutting you in the mouth could have caused some damage, but I wouldn't worry too much.
If the pain/sensitivity doesn't go away in a day or so, then I would definitely go see your local dentist.

Wait a week, then if still present go to dentist to test for pulp vitality. Even if this is negative, wait another 4 weeks to be sure. Sometimes the pulp will die, and you'll need an RCT, but there is usually no rush. Give it a bit of time.
