Dentist Damaged Front Teeth w/ Instruments?

My destist struck my two front upper teeth with an instrument today
while I was getting cavities filled. A metal instrument that he was
using crashed against my teeth with a decent amount of force. It
occurred when he was removing the "clasp" (I call it this - it what
secures around the tooth during the application of the filling) from
an upper rear tooth with what looked like a plier. As he retracted the
piece, the instrument and my teeth collided.
He's not very gentle and was applying a great deal of pressure when he
was tugging to remove the "clasp". I knew this because I do not get
novacaine for fillings.
My two front teeth hurt this evening - not real bad but I would
describe it as an extremely mild soreness, especially when I press
against the teeth lightly. I looked closer at the teeth an the one
front tooth has horizontal scratches, or "dents" would be the best way
for me to describe it.
How do I know if there is damage? What should I look for or do?
