Depending on where the dent is, it may not be due to a crash. Chips and small dents on the side of the down tube often result from yhe end of the brake arm/barrel adjuster swinging into the frame. Similar damage from swinging handlebars is fairly common to the top tube. If it from a crash, it's usually on the underside of the downtube and this type invariably has corresponding damage to the underside of the top tube. It also typically cracks or flakes the paint, directly opposite the dents, on the top of the tubes.
