We were on final for Runway XX; in Aircraft X; and my student accidentally put in flaps 40 on about a mile final (this is pretty easy to do as the flaps are really touchy and the indicator is above the students eye level). This caused him to get low and slow. I asked if he wanted to go around and he decided to continue. His focus was mainly on that and he failed to notice he was coming in crabbed to the right. I told him to use left rudder to straighten; which he did about 10 ft above the ground but at that point we were extremely left of center line and he panicked banked to the right; very hard; I told him to go around but he did not respond and we touched down completely side loaded and fairly hard. I took the controls and went around; but with all the flaps in it took a bit to get off the ground and the tail dragged on the runway. Once we got off the ground; I told the tower we were going around and that we were making this a full stop because we had a hard landing. [They] responded by telling us to set up for a left downwind for Runway XX1; and that we were cleared to land. In the meantime I did hear the tower send maintenance to inspect the runway; and they found no damage. This landing was fine and we taxied back and had maintenance (Name) inspect the tail. He said there was nothing but cosmetic damage to the left elevator and tie down. The plane was flown again.
Flight Instructor reported the student lost aircraft control resulting in a hard landing followed by a go around back to landing for maintenance to inspect the aircraft for damage.
